"I know I’m not the only person who appends “reddit” to a lot of Google searches to find answers to things written by actual humans instead of robots."

If Jay cared about human content, they wouldn't be using google for searches.

This will come with so many annoying consequences. Quick google search leads to AI answer citing reddit as a source that can't be accessed. Ultimately we're heading to informaton being locked behind log-ins and paywalls with AI circumventing all of that. Your average user will look at the AI answer and trust it because the effort to find a source or at least verify the info becomes too great.

They can't force you to login if no account 😏👈

Reddit was already slowly dying, this will only accelerate the decline. But at least /u/spez made millions selling users’ data to AI companies, right?

I didn't digg it

Are there any public archives? I don't care about the site in general, but there's plenty of older content that is still useful.

No, I don't think I will

you can use redlib to get reddit content. for now anyway. it's slow but it works.
