Following the "Reddit Vs. Apollo" saga, Reddit just joined the club of
giants.. I mean
locked-gates which includes: The Metas, YouTube and recently, Twitter.
Reddit's decision to end the free API access to its data marks the end of the 3rd-party frontends as we know them.
As far as I can tell, the only remaining player in the city is "Hacker News", with its free Firebase API [0].
With their statement as "we're making the public Hacker News data available in near real time", I am wondering for how long this will remain true? What do you think?
