Reddit is considering changes to its website that would require users to be logged in to view most content, according to the company's CEO during an earnings call, reported by Inc.
The proposed change aims to protect the platform from potential misuse by artificial intelligence technologies.
Currently, much of Reddit's content is publicly accessible without logging in, but the company is exploring options to restrict access as a protective measure.
No specific timeline or detailed implementation plan has been provided yet regarding this potential login requirement.
