      interesting. It looks like libreddit at least would be squashed.

      In that issue they’re saying “hmm I wonder if this would apply to unauthenticated API requests”.

      It seems nonsensical to me that it wouldn’t apply to unauthenticated API requests.

              Wouldn’t the API changes for reddit cause some of the privacy frontends it links to (like libreddit and teddit) to no longer work though?

                Oh, that’s what you meant. Yeah, that could be an issue, but I imagine at least some hosts will pay for the API if it affects them, depending on how much it costs. Hopefully they can continue to work. If not, it might be time to do some web scraping and get around the API.
