Right now it seems legal to scrape Reddit. But given their trajectory of making the API fairly expensive to use, do you think it's likely that they would also limit/prohibit scraping (assuming apps like Apollo start scraping as an alternative)?

My understanding is that scraping of public websites is generally legal, isn't it?
Legal, but probably against ToS
That ToS is meaningless if you scrape logged out.
