Reddit is making strides to maintain the platform's humanity and adhere to evolving regulatory requirements by collecting necessary information while preserving user anonymity. The company aims to improve efficiency in its operations as their treatments significantly outperform human performance. Additionally, the old version of Reddit, created in the mid-2000s, lacks scalability and is considered outdated, though the team plans to keep it running as long as there's user interest.
Notably, all our treatments surpass human performance substantially, achieving persuasive rates between three and six times higher than the human baseline.
No solution is perfect - including the status quo - but we will do our best to preserve both the humanness and anonymity of Reddit. We will share more as we go.
To keep Reddit human and to meet evolving regulatory requirements, we are going to need a little more information. Specifically, we will need to know whether you are a human, and in some locations, if you are an adult.
old.reddit is the version of Reddit that we built back in the mid-2000s. It doesn't scale, it's impossible to develop on, and it's ugly af. We will be shutting it down at the end of the month.
