Scraping. Not scrapping.

This is not just a spelling error. These are two totally different words.

Awwwww, does Reddit want us to feel sorry for them? Because we don't.

Yeah, I'm not feeling too sorry for the poor folks at Reddit who went out of their way to block 3rd party Reddit apps from access. Limiting/forcing members to only use their own horrible app (and website) killed any empathy for them.
