The support for RSS feeds is set to end on November 13, while public API access will cease by March 2027.
Reddit's user-generated content has become quite valuable, contributing to a 24% increase in other revenue, beyond advertising, reaching $43 million in the second quarter.
This move has raised concerns among moderators and users who rely on RSS feeds for alerts and content access.
Reddit is suggesting that moderators switch to the Discord Relay Debit app to maintain their workflows.
