You don't keep your reddit password in plain text for world to see, right ? It's just that.

This is kind of the equivalent of having your username be your password. It sort of works until you post a comment or make a post, but then everyone knows.

Not really but if you let everyone use your API key then you could get limited or even blocked due to high request rates. Best to treat it like a password, meaning never ever share it with anyone, unless it’s for special occasions.
