I want to thank reddit for imposing limits on the exposure of their content to LLM scrapers.

> What’s more, Reddit is experimenting with a new and simpler onboarding flow to increase early user engagement.

Calling it now - depreciation of old.reddit.com with simultaneous rollout of a login wall like X.

Honestly it's about time.

There is no free lunch and I would rather have to login to see content than have ai scrapers grabbing content

Reddit is partially owned by Sam Altman and they have deals with llm companies to sell the data. The content has been and will continue to be grabbed by everyone who can pay.

This.

If you really care about your content being scraped, you better start reading every TOS for the sites you frequent.
