> Their main intent is to destroy third party apps that no longer aid the company’s business goals. But they’re also trying to make a few million bucks a year licensing access to data, particularly on the back of AI training. It’s wrong.

This seems backwards to me. It's obviously a move to try (and likely fail, assuming screen scraping works well enough) getting in on the AI money train by charging for Reddit's data being used to train LLMs. I don't think Appolo and other 3P clients are the target of this API change, even if the results of it are anti-competitive and should be stopped regardless of intent.
