Tbh everyone just needs to leave reddit

Ironically this API issue will kill bots, which was needed.

It will only slow them temporarily you don't need api for bots

From my understanding, they already aren't using the API.

If the spam bots were using the API, then Reddit would have been able to shut them down trivially. Part of logging in via API requires a "client ID" that uniquely identifies the creator of the app/bot being used.

They could theoretically have each bot account create its own client ID, but even that would be a pretty obvious thing to look for.
