The internet, which was once a useful thing, is about to become a little less so: A new report from The Verge says Reddit is going to start blocking the Wayback Machine from indexing most of its content.
The Wayback Machine, part of the Internet Archive, takes "snapshots" of websites as they exist at various points through their history—even if those websites don't exist anymore. Want to know what the old BioWare forums looked like before they were closed in 2016? Wayback Machine's got you. It's also incredibly handy for tracking things like Steam page changes and answering questions like, "Hey, did the CIA ever run a Star Wars fan site?" (And yes, it did.)
