How can they not get user data on TPAs? It's their user and their data which they are serving to TPAs.

My understanding is that the app has the API key that's making requests, so, from Reddit's point of view, it's one key requesting all of that content, and they don't see the granular details of who requested what.

They could've probably gotten around that by requiring personal API keys for each user, maybe tied to a premium/gold membership?
