Reddit scrapping RSS support over AI bots

Reddit is discontinuing support for RSS feeds, according to Swedish technology coverage. The move is attributed to AI bots scraping content from the platform. RSS has long allowed users and third-party tools to follow Reddit communities without visiting the site, and its removal is being read as another step in Reddit's broader effort to restrict automated access to its data, a fight that has shaped the platform's policies since the rise of generative AI.

Why now: Reddit is restricting automated access to its content as AI companies scrape its data.
