Seems dumb not to allow premium members to generate keys that could then be put into these apps.

Then, Reddit could either get money or the same outcome.

Foolish



I'm not sure I understand why you can't do this.

I, a user of Reddit, will be able to generate an API key. Obviously I'll have to associate a CC with it (or whatever their new process is), but I can generate one for free.

Why can't I use that for my local Apollo or RIF client on my phone? Why must Apollo or RIF be involved on that end at all?
