Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI bots

Reddit is shutting down support for RSS feeds, part of a broader crackdown on public API access to its user-generated content, citing AI bots as the primary motivation. This move further restricts how developers and users can programmatically access Reddit data.

Background

Reddit has been progressively restricting API access over recent years, with major changes taking effect in 2023 that disrupted many third-party apps. The platform's data has become increasingly sought after for training AI models.
