Facebook closed its API long ago, pretending it was because of Cambridge Analytica (but the real reason was commecial), shutting down many research projects on social media.

Just thinking back to 2016 when r/thedonald was constantly making its way to the top of reddit for years and none of the team at reddit did anything.
Now with these API changes and devs/users making posts actively complaining about what a bad choice it is and how folks are planning to leave reddit en-masse, you barely hear about them despite the threads being heavily upvoted (usually up to something like 100k+ upvotes - usually 3k is enough to get a thread to the frontpage).
I look back on that shitshow in 2016 with even more pennies dropping.
