- kitsunesoba 3y agoGoing login-only would be suicidal. A large chunk of Reddit’s traffic and probably the majority of new users come from search engines, which login walls lock out. It’s not like Twitter where most growth comes from existing users linking tweets and user profiles. TOS as far as I know is not legally enforceable, and even if it is there are people in countries that disregard such things who are training LLMs.
