When Reddit said moderator tools were exempt from the API pricing, did they mention the tools would stay as is?

I'm assuming not since the mods are still protesting.

I'm out of the loop of the details regarding the impact on mod tools.

I mean most of the mods used third party applications as tools to do their job. With the API changes, almost all third party apps will die, so all mods will lose their tools.

I'm not a mod and can't exactly understand the situation, but I guess third party apps had easier to use and better/more tools than what official Reddit gives them, so that's it.
