    I dont understand why third party apps don’t work with reddit. If the official app can work fine, surely an app that mimics the official one with the API requests should work, no?

      Some tried. Reddit told them to pay a ridiculous amount.

      That said, you can still use the old apps through revanced. I haven’t had a rate limit yet, but I also might not make that many requests, as I don’t use it that much.

      If you can develop a system that can defeat oauth security you can do way more than falsify Reddit API traffic. You could steal all kinds of information.
