EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as “Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks.” will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!

“What the users want” my ass. Reddit doesn’t give 2 shits about what the users want.

From my understanding, they already aren’t using the API.
If the spam bots were using the API, then Reddit would have been able to shut them down trivially. Part of logging in via API requires a “client ID” that uniquely identifies the creator of the app/bot being used.
They could theoretically have each bot account create its own client ID, but even that would be a pretty obvious thing to look for.
