True but I guess they have to do it this time if they don't want reddit to be full of spam.
spam may still count toward engagement stats... so I don't see them being above it
If the removal of third party apps does not kill Reddit, then the flood of spam, likely will. Those mod tools and bots have been the main things keeping the floodgates shut, and Reddit has "promised" mod tools for years with no sign of actual development, despite mods practically begging for them constantly.
It will not be an instantaneous decline, but more likely one drawn out over a few weeks.
