MODERATORS
The rest of the world differentiates pricing based on type of usage, one thing is users/small devs, a totally different thing is corporate usage (AI scraping in this case).
It would have been more than enough for reddit to do the same and noone would have objected.
It's reddit who put themselves "between a rock and a hard place" by managing this in the most ridiculously stupid way possible, not the users.
You are correct. Unfortunately, that is not what the article is about.
