It’s another move to protect against AI scraping.

    That place is becoming more and more of a shithole. Bots, Ads, trolls, garbage mods… deleted the app last month.

      I quit reddit, cold turkey, the day they shut off free API access for 3rd parties. Except for a couple of fairly niche subs I haven’t missed it at all.

    Oh no, someone might not be paying them for their user generated content (!)

    To be fair, it’s probably best that history forgets this period of the web…

    Nice of them to protect their (users’) content from AI scrapping. So that they can charge AI companies for it instead.

    Reddit warned my account ( first warn in 10 years ) and deleted the comment when I told a American he can strike peacefully to show the government they are against it.

    I got a warn for recommending violence by an ai , the human that checked it agreed and didn’t remove the warn haha.

    Reddit is just feared that their censorship goes public.

      I was on Reddit for like 15 years, then got all my warnings and a ban in like a month or two earlier this year. Oh well, lol.

    When reddit has mutated a few more times. They start erasing stuff themselves. It will be lost to time and that fills me with hope.

    Not that reddit isn’t hot garbage right now, and has been for a while actually, but there’s a lot of people here who have glazed over the reason why reddit instituted this policy.

    AI companies are scraping the Wayback Machine. This is something that should concern all of us.
