I don't buy that as the reddit reason for their API change.

For a group that wants to feed AI models, web scraping reddit is barely a speed bump compared to having a nice API to use.

Reddit did what it did to force users onto their mobile app so they could better harvest user data and keep them from avoiding ads.
