as if it stops AI bots or scraping, especially if reddit is just selling the data upfront to google or openai. plus you can just make accounts in large numbers to counter the login.

They are really saying" we need the lurkers to use an account and start making content,, so we can use ai to scrape from it"

That's really giving them too much credit.

This is all about data collection and data theft, to sell your data to advertisers

Can't sell something you can get for free after all...
