because of AI bots

We all know they really were just looking for any excuse

They'll still allow AI bots. Only the ones they authorize though. Without them their paying customers will realize how many people have left.

It's technically true. They want those bots to pay for that access.

I'm glad to hear that from someone that's as anti-ai as you

[–] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

Honestly like I hate AI but I still use it

They killed access to old Reddit without an account a couple months ago. Also i saw some people can't access the new one without an account but i guess they are rolling out that one slowly.

They're making the website viewable only with an account.
