How “open” a website is, is up to the owner, and that’s all.
As someone who registered this account on this platform in response to Reddit’s API restrictions, it would be hypocritical of me to accept such a belief.

To me, the “access” that I am referring to (the interface with which you gain access to a service) and that “access” (your behavior once you have gained access to a service) are different topics. The same distinction can be made with the concern over DoS attacks mentioned earlier in the thread. The user’s behavior of overwhelming a site’s traffic is the root concern, not the interface that the user is connecting with.
