This question was wandering in my head as theoritcaly that would make Apollo and other apps live on. But i think the reddit legal team will be after Libreddit developers (and maybe even the 3rd party apps). What do you think?

    I rarely post comments on YouTube. When YouTube Vanced shut down I tried NewPipe, and instantly felt like I was missing out due to not being able to comment or vote, and that’s not even the main purpose of YouTube. I would argue that any avenue of engagement with Reddit helps Reddit, of not directly then through pumping up numbers for investor. And I can’t see anyone really wanting to just read Reddit without the access to comment or at least vote. So that would drive users back to the Reddit app or site. So any access, especially partial access, just becomes free advertising for whatever full access there is.
