Reddit will require users to log in to browse

Reddit will become a "logged-in-only experience," CEO Steve Huffman said. The requirement will first be tested in select markets outside the US in the coming months, with no timeline for a full rollout. Reddit cites scraping and automated traffic, and says logged-in users enable more relevant ads.
