A three-line meme sums up the knock-on effects of AI scraping for Reddit.
A greentext from @DAKKADAKKA1 laid out a short chain of events: "ai scrapes Reddit," "reddit shuts off front end access without an account," and "traffic takes a massive dip."
The post ended with a simple "Lmao," framing the traffic drop as a self-inflicted result of locking out logged-out visitors to fight scraping.
It drew about 8,100 likes.
A one-line all-caps post cheering the end of the AI bubble picked up more than 34,000 likes.
