Reddit Dramatically Restricts RSS Feeds, But Users Find an Authentication Bypass

Reddit has severely restricted unauthenticated RSS feed access, reducing the rate limit from 100 requests per 10 minutes to one per minute. This move reflects Reddit's broader strategy to eliminate unauthorized scraping and monetize its APIs, directly impacting users who rely on RSS for content discovery. While users have discovered a workaround using authentication parameters, this solution may be temporary as Reddit continues to lock down unauthenticated access.
