Reddit’s AI ID age verification might affect the whole website. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman recently said that he is considering having “face ID” to ensure humanity to combat AI bots on the platform. Reddit may soon require AI facial scans and age checks just to use the website. Let me know what you guys think about this situation in the comments below.
Peter Thiel and Sam Altman were some of the earliest investors in reddit (2014 funding round). Alexis Ohanian shared board seats at Y Combiner with those guys. Of course they’re together.
Honestly like 80% the enshittification we’re seeing can be traced back directly back to late stage Y Combinator and Sequoia Capital decisions.
