The decision of Reddit to limit API requests from third-party apps reflects their specific considerations regarding user experience, control, data usage, and security. Whether this signals a larger change for third-party app developers will depend on how other platforms and developers respond, and whether similar restrictions become more prevalent in the industry.

We are looking to provide a balance on the obvious risk with the ability to move fast (like everyone else now).
