Reddit says that it has caught AI companies scraping its data from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, so it’s going to start blocking the Internet Archive from indexing the vast majority of Reddit. The Wayback Machine will no longer be able to crawl post detail pages, comments, or profiles; instead, it will only be able to index the Reddit.com homepage, which effectively means IA will only be able to archive insights into which news headlines and posts were most popular on a given day.

Reddit is interesting right now. I took a look last week at the front page and there was an obvious post against trump. I checked inside and most of the comments were generic or something? Hard to pinpoint. It reminded me of conservative or td. I think they were bots? Here on lemmy, you might not get your post on the all page, but it seems like mostly real people.
