Yup, this is what I thought would happen. It wouldn't surprise me if reddit goes a step further and requires login to view pages.
AI is the death-knell of the web as we've known it for the past three decades. Once freely available information will retreat behind login walls and charge bigco's for access to train their models.
I wonder if some standardised data API will be settled upon, perhaps it already exists?
