It’s about making it more difficult to get access to download all of Twitter for use in training AI. chatGPT was trained using Twitter and Reddit. And large language models like chatGPT are HUGE money makers and have insane potential. The AI industry is exploding right now, so Twitter, Reddit, and others are adjusting how you can access their content so they can charge big companies money for the right to use their data.
There are several devs working on cracked versions of reddit apps that still work.
Sync for Reddit cracked version here: https://github.com/Liz-chan/sink-for-everyone/releases/tag/release
I don’t know how long it will work or if you even would bother wanting to continue using Reddit, but I like the fact that people are finding ways to still use their favorite apps.
Here’s a Google doc with a guide on how to patch your favorite reddit app to work, I don’t think RIF is included yet though.

But the first link I provided just works, install and log in, works fine.

If two of the same topic is posted, the one in the instance with more people will be higher on the active list than the other, so if you’re subbed to both, you’ll see that one first and interact with it. I’ve seen duplicate topics across several of my subs on Reddit regularly.
