Today I was trying to view a post on x someone linked
I viewed the post and it turns out I needed to download the x app to view the comments
In the comments was a link to Reddit with the original post
I go to Reddit to view their comments and it makes me download the app there too
I tried to archive.is it but it took way too long so I tried old Reddit and old Reddit requires an account now
There will be a special place in hell for these shitheads

@wafflesies@infosec.exchange I guess part of this is because of AI scraping. Reddit cut a deal with one of them (openai?) so probably provide them api access. and they won't want others getting it for free. that and the volume of vulnerability scanning that's no doubt going on.
