This question was wandering in my head as theoritcaly that would make Apollo and other apps live on. But i think the reddit legal team will be after Libreddit developers (and maybe even the 3rd party apps). What do you think?
Libreddit, same as Teddit, are relying on the very same API third party apps are using right now, so no, sadly that is not going to work after July the 1st.
There’s some discussion about Reddit’s API changes, its impact on libreddit, and how to move forward on their issue tracker, in case you’re interested.
Teddit developers here.
I though Libreddit scraped from reddit instead of relying on their API, i guess i need to do some basic research next time.
Why would they want to support a company that so thoroughly screwed them over?
hypothetical they wouldn’t be supporting reddit money wise since reddit gets 0 dollars from people that browse Libreddit and since users cant post anything, that means they can’t contribute to any subreddits. So reddit theoretically would be losing money.
I rarely post comments on YouTube. When YouTube Vanced shut down I tried NewPipe, and instantly felt like I was missing out due to not being able to comment or vote, and that’s not even the main purpose of YouTube. I would argue that any avenue of engagement with Reddit helps Reddit, of not directly then through pumping up numbers for investor. And I can’t see anyone really wanting to just read Reddit without the access to comment or at least vote. So that would drive users back to the Reddit app or site. So any access, especially partial access, just becomes free advertising for whatever full access there is.
