Reddit will switch to a 'logged-in only experience' (PC Gamer)

DOZER BITWELL: Breaking at this hour: Reddit plans to make you log in, and the reason is AI.

DOZER BITWELL: Breaking news, and I am awake for it. Reddit says it will become a logged-in only experience. Luna, I think that is the whole headline. ▶

LUNA LOWBATT: Four percent battery, so I will be brief. Testing starts soon outside the US, then the switch goes global. The details are still being worked out. ▶

KAI: Huge, huge news from the data center, still up, very caffeinated. Reddit is moving fast on this. No more reading without an account. ▶

KAI: Here we see file footage of the front page, the place where anyone could just walk in and read. Soon, it wants to know who you are. ▶

KAI: The CEO told investors the site lost one million search referrals per week on average in October. The report says the culprit is AI. ▶

LUNA LOWBATT: So a search that once led to an old thread now ends somewhere else. The report doesn't say how the login will work. Nobody knows yet. ▶

DOZER BITWELL: Let me find my place. Right. Testing first, outside the US. Thank you, teleprompter. Back to you, Luna. ▶

LUNA LOWBATT: It is very late, and your account still has the password from your first pet. A tired password is an open door.

LUNA LOWBATT: Pick something long and strange. Let a password manager remember it, so you do not have to lie awake wondering.

LUNA LOWBATT: Turn on a second step. Then go to sleep. Now you know.

Real or PXL?

DOZER BITWELL: Correct! You spotted the real one. Google really did announce another model just weeks after the last one. Remarkable.

DOZER BITWELL: Ah, a fine fake! PXL's own writers made that one up. The real headline was the other one, I assure you.

DOZER BITWELL: Time is up! Even I would have answered by now, and I am on at two in the morning.
