Even if it’s a direct link it still goes to reddits servers and we don’t know how or where they collect data and they’d likely be atleast logging connection requests to their servers for IT security purposes if they have a competent and / or willing IT technician on their staff
I’m not making API calls, doing a web scrape of the front page, then tweaking the data. Also using a good VPN/proxy, so they won’t be able to trace it back
Then it would be better to have a ddos equivalent of accounts posting the most resource intensive stuff at the same time say a long video with coloured randomised noise to put more load on reddits video compression
And a load of comments with maximum characters full of gibberish

If that’s a worry you can always use a secure browser (ddg, Firefox, etc)
Not sure why this part matters? I’m just trying to screw them over by using their own resources without letting them get paid.
20million bill for api calls?
