    It will block Google and broker deals with firms that are already enabling shitty AI accounts.

    …Because Reddit sells ads.

    They don’t want you to be able to find what you need and leave, they want to you go to the front page, see ads, preferably on their shitty mobile app, hunt for the appropriate sub, search that, see ads, get frustrated, have you ask a question, go away, get a notification, go back, see ads, the reply was an AI bot, mixed results depending on whether you realized it or not, see more ads, then fuck off.

    And this is a company that will soon IPO, and become beholden to shareholders. They have only begun to squeeze their users.
