Interesting theory for what might have been another motivation behind the API changes. After all, Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) is a member of the Reddit board. What do you think?

It doesn't make sense to me, AI companies already have reddit data, language models have been on the training for years, blocking access now wouldn't change anything from that point of view.

It's much more likely reddit wants to monetize mobile access before the IPO, to please investors, killing 3rd party apps is the only way for them to have full control on mobile access.
