Here is a non-ref link:

Does this insert form inputs into a template and feed that to ChatGPT? Why do I need to request access?
At what cost? Decreased velocity of money? Loss of how many jobs? If Sam Altman and a few others are allowed to establish a moat around AI as he is trying to do, what will happen?

Scraping will only enable reading from Reddit. To write to Reddit or to read/write private user data, you would need to automate a browser and handle user credentials in plaintext.

Either keep looking for explanations until it clicks, or try to break it down into more fundamental elements.

Classes and blueprints have a simple analogy that I'm sure you are familiar with.

Blueprints are instructions for how to build something, like a house. Once built, the house is a physical thing you can interact with. It has attributes, such as a height or color. It has things it can do or that can be done to it, like open a door or turn on some lights.

Classes are blueprints - they tell a computer how to build something. An object is what is built by the class - it has attributes and methods.

It's either meant to kill 3rd party apps, or it's an impressive failure by Steve Huffman to create another revenue stream for Reddit.
Re:Ask HN: Anyone at Reddit can confirm a traffic dip? on Monday June 12, 2023 @03:50AM (#36289832)
Unfortunately for Reddit, that handful includes many moderators.
Twitter defines state-affiliated media as:

> outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution. [1]

This isn't an accurate description of NPR. The government has no control over the content.

> NPR receives less than 1% of its direct funding from the federal government [2]

Even Twitter recognized this and walked back the labeling. [3]
