Is Variety affected by the change in Reddit's API policy? #627

Not an issue; I'm just wondering. It should be, no? If it is, a possible workaround could be to generate a personal token and feed it into Variety. But that would have to be a change implemented into Variety itself.

I see it is still working. We are using the static json feeds, not the actual API, and I'm not sure whether these would be killed as part of the API changes - I couldn't find any info if this specific aspects of their functionality is supposed to be affected. At least for now, it seems it hasn't been. If these feeds get killed - I doubt the API's Terms of Use would allow using a personal token for an application like this, so most probably we'll have to kill the Reddit downloading option. We'll see.

Yes, it does indeed seem to be working. I can close this issue and reopen it should anything happen.
