Just more vindication for my ditching that trash heap of a platform. YT is probably going to be the next platform I ditch as they're going full Reddit now.
It's a matter of time before third-party YT front-ends start getting throttled or outright blocked like third-party Reddit front-ends.

In a way, the entire lemmy community is the fuckreddit sub

OK, I stopped posting on Reddit but left my account and comments in place because I considered them part of the public record. If Reddit is taking that record private, it’s time for me to start removing my content from the platform.
Does anyone know if historical Reddit content will remain in IA? If not, I’m going to have to back up years of content somewhere else.

Time to just ignore them and scrape it anyways

Cuck boy getting pegged by post top op Garfield is definitely not something I had jotted down in my day-at-a-glance.

YouTube's already throttling users in their mobile site. They have these massive channel cards in their feeds and the video titles/thumbnails disappear after a few offerings, leaving you with the ability to blindly click on a video.

Given that the Internet Archive is the de facto standard way to cite material as seen on a given date --- they're a trustworthy party that will probably persist for a long time --- that's going to make it harder to cite content on Reddit.
Damn, guess if you want reddit data to train your AI that you’ll need to pay Spez for access.

I'm assuming IA will continue to host their historical archives of Reddit, they'll just not have any new captures after this. Unless IA has said otherwise, it'd be very strange to wipe their archive of Reddit

The company says that AI companies have scraped data from the Wayback Machine, so it’s going to limit what the Wayback Machine can access.
Yeah, wouldn't want those AI companies to get all that data for free. Gotta make 'em pay for it.

As somebody who often ends up using Reddit like Stackoverflow and in some cases needing the Internet Archive (IA) to find the original post after it’s been deleted or garbled, I think this is a wakeup call for those go to Reddit both to get technical help and to post it. More than ever, Reddit is becoming an unreliable place to find answers for old obscure issues and if they are going to lockout places like the IA then I think it’s time people stopped contributing their solutions to Reddit.
