For connecting with discord, telegram, or whatever else one might want. For example (I know this is very specific) I wanted to do a whole point system where different memberships get different amount of points per month and can use them to control different parts of my dynamic and such. But what an API allows is for that level of specificity. Being able to do integration with auth allows for that. I'm a hacky rough non-educated programmer so the proper way to do this might be proposed using different words, but I think I'm getting the idea across. This would also mix with being able to automate stuff with tips using buttplug.io . Be it during livestreams (for which there's already a proposal) or via chat or private calls. I've often seen this as adding "apps" to your site. So "app"/plug-in/extension/add-on/watever devs can make your site integrate with whatever toy or social media site or whatever they want, without you having to build every single one individually (as I understand you've done with twitter and are doing with some sex toy company, I assume lovense) Sorry a bit disorganized, can clean up later
