News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

'Likes' tab on a profile also appears to be unaffected by rate-limit as well.
Noticed this earlier but didn't realize how intentional it was until now. Since Musk claims the account-wall for guests will be lifted eventually, I wonder how this rate-limit will be enforced for those browsing without an account. If by IP address, guests using any somewhat popular VPN would have permanently maxxed out limits. If it is done with some sort of guest cookie / ID, then it will be instantly evadable by clearing cookies. I believe this is similar to what you can do with Quora's account-wall. I am very curious to see what happens.

How ironic that Reddit's new API limits are likely causing an uptick in calls leading up to the change...

Not just mass archival / reads, but also database writes from Shreddit usage, etc.
