    This would be the literal death for my reddit Account. Only been using it when looking for answers online and stumbling upon reddit threads.

      Unless you’re looking for NSFW answers, then the login isn’t necessary. How do I know? I’ve stumbled upon search results from reddit a few times these last few months, and every time I’ve opened the page in a private mode. My u/ is dead over there, and it’s not getting counted as occasional visiting.

      Update: yet!.. Apparently login to view content will be forced as a part of the AI crackdown.

        So it’s going to be like Facebook and Instagram. People just love sending me links that lead to the same ugly login wall I’ve already seen many times.
