Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI bots
Reddit is discontinuing support for RSS feeds and restricting public API access to limit the automated harvesting of user-generated content by AI bots. This move follows a broader industry trend of platforms restricting data scrapers to protect content privacy and monetize data usage. These changes affect developers and users who rely on external tools to aggregate or monitor discussions on the site.
