To be fair, it really does suck because sites like reveddit.com (and extensions like RES) would probably go down as well, but I think that's a sacrifice I'd be willing to make if it makes a jannie's life miserable and prevents them from being able to censor everything.
As far as reveddit goes, it has been gimped along the way. The removed comments sometimes don't show, the deleted comments no longer show ("out of respect for the user"). It's not the same compared to when it first came out. The best and most consistent purpose I've found for it is to act as a lazy man's "archive" so people don't have to give clicks directly to reddit.
RES isn't really affected by this, as far as I'm aware - it has a different problem, it's on life support because noone really wants to work on it anymore. It will die when peddit kills the old interface, but again, it's a different problem.
The current API jewery directly affects 3rd party apps like Reddit Is Fun, Apollo, etc., as well as reveddit as you mentioned, but IIRC that got throttled already a few months ago.
Yeah, RES really shows how Reddit's target audience has shifted. It used to be a bunch of nerds, the type of nerds who get bored and develop extremely elaborate browser extensions. Nowadays it's all trannies who don't develop shit because they spend their time dilating their neovaginas. (I mean, the dozen or so actual users who aren't bots.)

True, RES is just an extension. I'm not sure if it relies on the API at all.
It sucks no one is working on it, though. Even without an account, it still makes reddit better.
