Reddit has implemented a new update prohibiting all web crawling, effectively banning search engines like Bing and DuckDuckGo from displaying Reddit content in their search results. This move comes after Reddit’s earlier decision to restrict access to its data for third-party apps without payment, sparking controversy and leading to protests from users and app developers. While Google continues to have access to Reddit data due to a $60 million annual agreement, other search engines are now excluded.
