Have the apps API access been officially restored?
Though, to be fair, we might see another influx the day the private API keys stop working, or Reddit isn't compatible with them anymore. I see a lot of people using those to still be able to access Reddit through their preferred app
No, they won't be and the majority of people didn't care. Which is kind of my point?
That will not happen. If they kill the API for good and do the same thing that happened at Twitter, all the bots from Reddit are going to disappear and it's going to cause a hit on Reddit traffic.
The number of people who cared enough about third-party apps is not enough to affect their bottom line, so as long as they managed to get (say, 80% of the Apollo/Sync/Infinity users into the official client is enough)
