    This post is woefully inaccurate. Firstly, all the revanced mod does is change the 3rd party API to a personal developer API. Not one single user has had any problems doing this as this API is offered for users to make and use apps. There’s a call limit for everyone’s personal API so it can’t be abused.

    This issue is from something separate… KoalaS made an IfR clone that uses the official Reddit app API. This is easily detectible and a really stupid decision to make, and an even dumber decision to use.

    TLDR: this has nothing to do with revanced mods, just a really stupid specific cloned app

    Edit: Never use a pre-made modded APK for this. If you do, you will be sharing an API with others and that could put your account at risk. Always patch your own app with your own API.

    Seems quite stupid to tryp to spoof the official app, I guess personal revanced app are still here for long

      • It’s stupid if:
        • you do it without understanding the possible consequences
        • you do it in a way that can be detected
      • It’s not stupid if:
        • you are aware of the potential consequences and you consider it an acceptable risk
        • you are very confident that it won’t be detected

      For example I use a similar method to access Discord and I am aware that my account might get banned if this is detected. It’s a calculated risk that I am ok with.
