Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI bots

When I search for things at work, and reddit may have the top result, I stopped clicking them becasue they want me to log in.

When I search for things on my phone, and reddit is one of the top results, I stopped clicking it because now it won’t let me read it in browser, and forces me to use their app.

They got rid of old reddit.

Clearly they are trying to pad their logged-in user counts.

I’m done. I’m sorry to say that I’d rather have an AI-generated answer (that likely is citing the right answer on reddit anyway) than to give reddit the satisfaction of making me open their app or log in.

Fuck them.

Fuck spez.

They didn’t. You need an account though.
