This means that they're doing something that requires a complete upgrade of their servers or their software or something and I would look for something really different to be happening when they reopen their doors.

3rd Party API fees cost too much, and they are going to make Reddit more bloated to capture user data to be like Suckerberg.

I'm a complete beginner at JavaScript but I have done some studying of JavaScript and using Dev tools to automate web browser processes so I'm a little unclear why you need an API to automate web browser processes or for web scraping or data gathering etc.

My point is who gives a f*** about API fees if you're a real programmer
