From enshittified to literal shit. Now they even self-isolate that shit. Good. It will stink a bit less on the net. 🤭
How sad that Aaron Swartz was there for the creation of RSS and Reddit. Like spitting on his grave by removing access to data and putting up walls.
Sooo Reddit is doing this to get rid of bots… except the only users they have left are bots… weird.
Their automated filters seem to be dessigned to ban people and leave bots. 🤭
A mild realization just hit me. Reddit used to come up in daily conversation, even with randos. Now when I mention it nobody even knows what it is, and those that do remember it… speak of it only as this vague place they used to go years ago. “Oh yeah I remember reddit”
Reddit never came up in daily conversation for me. It came up only occasionally, and it actually seemed to do so more often after it went public.
It was a weird coincidence
Extra hilarious because they just invested so much in ads to try and rope in every day people.
Obligatory Fuck Spez
Don’t fuck Spez actually, there’s no doubt in my mind he’s a terrible shag.
Fuck Spez
Reddit never gave a shit about bots. To them it’s something that pumps up their active users numbers to woo their investors. They’re only doing this so they can force people to view their ads that are designed to look like posts.
Who goes on Reddit nowadays anyway?
Reddit is killing
RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI botsitself.Digg’ing their own grave.
I tried visiting old.reddit.com yesterday and it was a redirect to a login page that appeared to be the modern ui. So I guess PC browsing is off the table, Reddit’s modern ui is trash.
Yeah…
AI bots….
That’s why.
Those RSS feeds have been so heavily rate-limited over the past year that they were practically unusable already. I’m glad they’re finally making an announcement about it. No more ambiguity. No more aggressively sporadic 403 and 429 errors.
Go ahead and kill the only reason I ever used your site.
Today in “no fucking shit news” reddit continues to suck and water makes things wet. Next week on “everyone already knows this” join us when we reveal our breaking stories “republicans are traitors to the constitution, and spez sucks donkey dicks”
reddit dies more every day than the day before and it’s already long dead
Sure…
If it was bots they’d have to shut the whole site down.
I thought this was what they did a few years ago.
