TREE NEWS update: Reddit will retire its RSS feeds on November 13, with outside apps losing access to its public data pipeline by March 2027. The platform said the move targets scraping bots, even as it continues to license its own content to AI companies.
Reddit to Shut Down RSS Feeds on Nov 13, End Public API Access by 2027
AI take
The real story is the double standard: Reddit frames the shutdown as anti-scraping, yet keeps licensing the same corpus to AI companies, which means the data isn't being protected so much as repriced and gated. The near-term losers are the free ecosystem of researchers, journalists and small developers who relied on RSS as a lightweight, low-cost feed, while the beneficiaries are Reddit's paying AI partners. Whether this becomes a template for other platforms converting public data into a licensed asset is the open question worth watching.
