Reddit Restricts Old Interface Access to Combat AI Bot Scraping

Reddit is implementing further restrictions on its "Old Reddit" interface, a move aimed at curbing scraping activities and automated traffic from AI bots. The platform has already begun requiring users to log in to access the older version of its site.

In the coming months, Reddit plans to enhance these measures by mandating that users not only be logged in but also possess a certain level of account activity or standing to utilize the "Old Reddit" experience. This strategy is part of a broader effort to protect its content and user data from unauthorized automated access.
