Yes, it's a shame. It's in part due to scrapers and AI. There's a wealth of relevant knowledge inside Reddit, and agents aren't able to easily check there for updates on recent topics.
- iamacyborg 20d ago> It's in part due to scrapers and AI. It has nothing to do with that, scrapers can still scrape new reddit. This is just a hostile action to move visitors to a site that shows more ads.

- LastTrain 20d agoNot a moral judgement, just it was good before and now it sucks. Just my opinion, the horror!
- distances 20d ago? This isn't about new vs. old reddit, but rather that there's now no access without login.
- iamacyborg 20d agoThe reason Reddit gave for blocking access to non-logged in users is that it's being used for AI scraping. https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/1ujtebf/logging_in_to_use_old_reddit/ https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/1ujtebf/logging_in... > Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform.
- jmalicki 20d agoHow ironic. The reason you can't read the comment: "> The big milestone is when computers can read and understand information like humans do. There is a lot of work going on in this field - Google, Microsoft, Facebook, academia,... Right now computers don't know how to represent knowledge so they can't read a text book and pass a test." Is because reddit is threatened enough by "computers that can read and understand information like humans do" the he's locked out of it!
