Reddit Blocks All Search Engines and AI Bots Except Google in $60 Million AI Deal
Jul 24, 2024, 04:32 PM
Reddit has initiated a significant policy change by blocking all search engines and AI bots from crawling its site, except for Google. This move comes as part of a $60 million annual deal with Google, allowing the tech giant exclusive access to Reddit's data for AI training purposes. As a result, popular search engines like Bing and DuckDuckGo are no longer able to provide full results from Reddit. Colin Hayhurst, CEO of the search engine Mojeek, confirmed that Reddit is effectively 'killing everything for search but Google.' This development, reported by 404 Media, has raised concerns about further monopolization of valuable information on the internet.
