2 days agoI don’t really get why this solution isn’t used much or even suggested. I mean fetching the data without an account is a foolproof way to detect shadowbanning and silent removals. Frankly I’m surprised no one has simply made an extension or tool to do it automatically.
I mean web scraping also exists and scraper based Reddit frontends have been and still are a thing. Also using accounts API isn’t ideal since they can figure out that an account is being used to look at stuff like that and either suspend it or worse just make shadowbans visible and not apparent to that account.
Can’t so easily fuck with a web scraper or tool just looking at the raw web page data.
