Reddit has announced to block the Internet Archive from indexing popular Reddit threads to prevent artificial intelligence firms from scrapping the content for training purposes. According

Reddit has moved to restrict the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from indexing most of its platform after identifying that some artificial intelligence companies have been using archived Reddit content for data scraping in ways that violate its policies.

Reddit will block the Internet Archive and Wayback Machine from saving pages from subreddits. The reason is said to be the use of the archive by companies training artificial intelligence.
