I hope they do it. I hope they push themselves further into irrelevance. Remember, the users make the content, not Reddit.

This is from a week and a half ago, hasn’t happened and it still seems unlikely to me.

I would have NEVER made a reddit account if every niche problem i googled brought me to a reddit discussion on it. I hope they do it and push reddit into irrelevancy

Literally the only use for Reddit now is search. Reddit search has been so shit for years and they’ve even said to just use google

This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Nothing is changing,” Reddit spokesperson Courtney Geesey-Dorr told The Verge, adding that the Post would soon be correcting its story.
The publication now writes that if Reddit can’t get AI to play ball, the company may block Google and Bing’s search crawlers, which means Reddit posts wouldn’t show up in search results.
“In terms of crawlers, we don’t have anything to share on that topic at the moment,” Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt tells The Verge, clarifying that the company’s earlier “nothing is changing” comment only applied to logins.
(In my June interview with Reddit CEO Steve Huffman, he said that “we’re in talks” with AI companies about the pricing changes.
The Washington Post’s report wasn’t just focused on Reddit — it’s about how more than 535 news organizations have opted to block their content from being scraped by companies like OpenAI to help train products such as ChatGPT.
X, formerly Twitter, has also implemented new pricing tiers for accessing its API, and X owner Elon Musk blamed data scraping by AI startups as a way to justify the reading limits implemented this summer.

So I know this is a bot but can we talk about reposts? This was posted 11 days ago. To this same community.

Yeah these bots are getting out of hand, especially the bots that copy and paste content from other forums.

Yeah, I’d prefer this community without the bot, it seems fine without it.
