Won't machine learning largely solve this problem? Fine, don't provide an API, but I can extract a useful JSON document from your HTML representation.

If you're referring to reddit you can just add .json to the URL. eg:
https://www.reddit.com/r/blog.json
or
https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/149ad64/teslas...

As far as I'm aware, Reddit still allows you to append .json to any of their pages and you get the results as a nicely formatted json document.
No LLM required.

The question is: will that still be available after the API is paywalled?

I imagine there's ways to curtail that (like detecting non-human users).
