Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
This is because appending
site: reddit.comto a search query is basically a surefire way to find results written by genuine humans.The article is from 2026, not 2016? That bot-ridden Reddit? Am i in the wrong film?
Meanwhile, I use
-site:reddit.commore and more.
We are not the same. ;)I use Google hit hider by Domain userscript (also works on most major search engines), which also let’s you remove AI barf sites.
100% bot ridden. However site:reddit.com is used for the types of questions where otherwise, you just get page after page of SEO sites, which are even wose.
wrong film
Second reality on your left, past the one where Santa Clause rules the world
Hey, those are real human made bots. Not shitty ai generated bots.
Or that site:url doesn’t return results it used too anymore.
Quit using reddit. I don’t give a shit what your excuse is, you’re propping up fascism.
My cousins say they cannot find any discourse communities for their hobbies outside Reddit. I would respect the decision more if they only stuck to those subreddits but they don’t.
Again, I don’t fucking care about your excuses.
Skill issue
Reddit seems to be in the business of extracting as much value as it can from said forums without completely destroying them.
I call bs. It’s been completely destroyed for a while.
I think they’re more upset AI companies scraped 'em and they didn’t get paid.
They told Google to pound sand and their stock took a hit. Fuck em
You mean Reddit told Google? They actually have an agreement with Google where the latter get a direct feed of new posts and comments, and index them pretty much immediately. So not sure where you got the ‘told Google to pound sand’ idea.

They threatened to cut Google off from training AI and their stock dropped.
I agree with you. But what’s important is if they can sell anything. They destroyed their own product but they’re still pretending it has value, and maybe they can fool some investors into paying for script and AI slop.
They are in the business of attracting new users into their new algorithmic engagement hellhole now. Show any propensity of interest, and you will get sidetracked to the most godawful side-communities that seem to have emerged to engage as many victims as possible. They do not want to focus on their old users as anything less than the content they already made that makes reddit show up as free advertisement to their new base in search engines. It’s all a game of “it’s the algorithm’s fault so you can’t blame us” now.
While I agree, More celebs than ever have been asking for comments and ideas on their reddit pages.
Fuck you spez.
Yesterday, I visited new Reddit. No VPN, Chrome in incognito mode, so no extensions, clickedon a link directly from Google search. Got a message that my access was blocked for security reasons. Copied the link to Firefox (with uBO and a few privacy-centric extensions), changed it to old reddit (where I was already logged in), and it worked just fine. I found out that when Reddit kills old reddit, I won’t even have the choice to switch to the new one (not that I ever would) because I’d be blocked anyway.
It works through Tor, by the way. I had the same experience can’t look at it but I can through Tor. They even have a .onion.
seems like Old reddit is account-walled as of today maybe
I don’t even understand how there are still so many comments on that site. How is anyone even accessing it anymore? I just assume it’s 100% bots
The site is most hostile to visitors who aren’t logged in, and the users who comment probably mainly visit the site while logged in.
Nah I have been banned loads for insanely minor stuff. I got a sitewide ban having appealed a ban for some star trek opinion I cant remember.
My account was eight years old with a decrnt history and contributions. They give mods too luch sway because mods are losers doing work for free.
Inertia, just like Facebook.
I haven’t maintained my personal website in ages. That, of course, means it loads instantaneously, in comparison to all these Library of Congress websites.

tag users […] it’s super weird seeing people from one country pretending to be from another one.
I see issues.
Implementation A: automatic by IP)
- they moved
- they use a VPN
Implementation B: field in profile settings)
- can write whatever the fuck they want
- can probably change it

“reddit has made a bad decision” is not news. it’s entirely what is expectable of them.
They’ve already disabled old.reddit for me. That makes it unusable, and thank you, Reddit. I actually used a domain blocker to block reddit, but generally would still be tempted to peek. Now, that is no longer the case. I, for one, am wholly in support of Reddit’s new anti-advertising stance!
this is like when in a community i am looked at as a criminal because i don’t drink alcohol.
SMHTML
Wait. How does that work? Wouldn’t plain html be safer because it’s JUST html?? Or are there vulnerabilities in just html that I’m not aware of?
It’s unsafe for their profits.
They could use a WAF to block AI scrapers, and both Cap and Shieldstral together to block most AI posters but they won’t bother.
Apart from all that, what would prevent an AI knowledge thieving tool from using an actual account on Reddit?
One would need more than 1 account…
As if that would stop an AI agent.
