"Reddit will limit access to mature content via our Data API as part of an ongoing effort to provide guardrails to how sexually explicit content and communities on Reddit are discovered and viewed."

People speculate in the comments that newly introduced rate limits could affect reveddit/pushshift:

The Apollo devs and RiF users are concerned too. The Apollo devs are threatening to quit Reddit.

    They've been in discussion with selling their user's activity for machine learning training. The API (and 4rd party apps) let you bypass a lot of their data collection and telemetry points.

    The only surprising thing is that reddit allows 3rd party apps.

    All crackdowns start with an excuse like "it's to protect the children". The real point is to start limmiting access. Only a fool would think reddit is concerned about who sees porn given their history of empowering and protecting pedophiles and child groomers.

    No more pee-pees in hoo-hoos or poo-poos with third party apps :(

    It will be very interesting to see what subs will be considered "sexually explicit content."
