I can see reddit resolving this by giving certain apps heavily discounted API access. Right now at least all the backlash is coming from 3rd party app users, while ML guys are sitting quietly in the back with their fingers crossed.

Doesn't this give reddit an easy way to censor specific apps? It would be better to have a batch API and an "app access" API that rate limits based on user accounts rather than based on API keys. I could see having tiered costs for different usage patterns, but it's hard to design correctly.
