    I think that’s part of why they stopped allowing third party apps, they were worried our (there?) data was going to be used to train AI. I assume whatever is restricting that, also restricts the search results.

      They didn’t ban third party apps. They increased the pricing for using the api to a rate higher than most third party apps could afford with their business models.

      Like if someone wanting to train some ai on reddit would pay those insane prices for the API instead of just scraping for free.

      Openai pirated millions of books via books2/zlibrary to train their model, they don’t care about copyright
