That’s why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.

Not just paywall their porn, also force linking:
Payment method and thus Identity to reddit account
Identity to whatever degenerate shit you like to get off to.

EDIT: The reference to assholedesign is a joke, the first part is legite (that they are generally considering paywalled subs).
