Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about the moderation tools losing API access. The big subreddits don't have the staff to manually fight all of that, especially with at least some of the senior/dedicated mods losing at least some interest in keeping things afloat. Pro bono work was already rough enough with tools to help. Remove those tools and it's going to put a lot of people off moderating in a serious manner.
Unpaid staff at that
At what point do they just decide fuck it and stop trying to fight against all the spam and irrelevant posts because they simply just don’t have the means to anymore
