Same here. I occasionally follow a link to normal reddit it and it lets me see the tread for about ten seconds then tosses up a login popup. Looks like they are locking down the whole site.

At least the bots are pretending to be intelligent. A lot of idiots on reddit that are really degrading the site.

    as if bots/spammers are going to be deterred by requiring logins, they make accounts as part of thier spamming abilities, plus these "users" also try to make genuine comments so they dont get banned. so once reddit fully deploys its going to be just propaganda bots, non-propaganda bots, spammers(OF, and website linkers). AI scraping the site will become less and less useful.

    And how is putting up barriers going to play out? Fewer users will bother, and overcoming barriers like that is more than worth it if it means you get to run your 1000-bot army.

    they are probably hopefully enough will not leave the large subs(sports and all its alts, movies/show and all its alts, celeberity gossips and alts, news and politics) AITA)and its alts, interesting type subs are mostly AI posted anyways. they dont care of the small niche subs dies though. it works for tiktok and instagram, if people are addicted enough.
