Reddit has stopped most search engines, including Bing and DuckDuckGo, from indexing its content due to bot scraping, except Google, which has a $60 million partnership with Reddit for AI training. Reddit maintains that this move is consistent with their content policy, implying a movement towards pay-to-play search results. Microsoft's failure to comply with Reddit's terms could have affected this decision.
