Reddit signals major changes coming for Old Reddit platform
Reddit is announcing upcoming changes to Old Reddit, its 21-year-old interface, citing efforts to combat unauthorized data scraping and AI training. The company has already required login for Old Reddit and is working to migrate bot and moderator tools to the modern platform. Reddit is also tightening control over API access for third-party apps.
WHY IT MATTERS
Reddit has been in conflict with generative AI companies that use the platform's content to train language models without payment. The measures against Old Reddit and API access are part of this strategy to reduce unauthorized data harvesting.
