To stop scrappers, offer the same pricing as API to anyone using the web version of reddit. (New or old doesn't matter.) Ordinary users have to pay, per thousand comments, to see reddit.
Actually, do the same thing with the official app (since folks could otherwise use it for free and take screenshots or something). But leave the ads in too.
As others have said, PDS is a good choice as it avoids a need to use the API. (It does depend on old dot reddit dot com however, but that's not going away tomorrow.)
Do keep this in mind however, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than
In short you need to request and get the GDPR/CCPA archive from reddit to make sure you wipe everything. (Some folks can live with just wiping out their top posts and comments however, for which PDS is perfectly fine.)
The downside is that afaik there's no way to feed that archive to PDS. You'll need to use an API using script like shreddit to edit everything.

If you do decide to put in a data retrieval request, there's a timeline tracker: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/50981/Reddit-Data-Retrieval-Request-timeline-thread
Reddit admins using that "feature" to post under other usernames perhaps? I dunno if there's a way to check but I wouldn't be surprised if these folks were not actually subbed to the sub that they seem to care so much about.
Be careful. When I tried this it didn't quite work - I got a handful of comments, but a bunch were missing and the csv was obviously truncated. Others have reported similar results as well. See https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/71867/Poll-Power-Delete-Suite-users-are-you-saving-your-content
I had another way of grabbing everything, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the

So far very few reports of folks actually getting anything.
Power to you, mate! Let's go get 'em!
This article did not age well.
I'm fine with either approach honestly. Both remove the valuable human generated content from reddit so both are a strike against them in my book.
Keep it up mods! It is working!
Welcome aboard! Which app is that?
