Old Reddit, the 21-year-old desktop version of the site still preferred by many longtime users and moderators, could become the next casualty of Reddit's war against AI scraping. Reddit said at the end of June that it would block access to Old Reddit if users aren't logged in. "Old Reddit's logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform," Reddit admin boat-botany shared at the time. At the time of this writing, I was able to access Old Reddit without being logged in, but was later met with a message that it has been "blocked by network security." When asked by Engadget if the company was planning to shut down Old Reddit entirely, a spokesperson for the company didn't answer directly.
