As search traffic dries up, Reddit says it will shift to a primarily logged-in experience
Reddit announced on its third-quarter earnings call that it will move to a primarily "logged-in experience," aimed at protecting its data from AI scraping and securing licensing deals with model providers. The company reported 130.3 million global daily active users, flat quarter-over-quarter, and a decline in U.S. daily users from 53.2 million to 50.7 million. Revenue rose 53% year-over-year to $895 million and net income climbed 74% to $283 million.
