Ask HN: How is it likely for Hacker News to block its public API in the future?

Following the "Reddit Vs. Apollo" saga, Reddit just joined the club of giants .. I mean locked-gates which includes: The Metas, YouTube and recently, Twitter. Reddit's decision to end the free API access to its data marks the end of the 3rd-party frontends as we know them. As far as I can tell, the only remaining player in the city is "Hacker News", with its free Firebase API [0]. With their statement as " we're making the public Hacker News data available in near real time ", I am wondering for how long this will remain true? What do you think? __________________________________ 0. https://ift.tt/wuRkYhb
