    Yes, you can, mainly for going ad-free. And if Reddit had simply given every subscriber a private API key for their account and let the 3rd party apps use user-supplied API keys, Reddit would have probably actually made more money without getting any serious API-related blowback.

      Yeah but see, that would require the Reddit CEO not being a giant fucking moron. Instead, well, we got what we got. lmao
