    So if I’m understanding this correctly, reddit aims to become more profitable by selling “its” data to companies that are training AI. Google et al are currently “scraping” this data and thus getting for free what reddit considers valuable.

    Spez is out of his good goddang mind.

    Google is too big to care what reddit does. They’ll scrape elsewhere or “accidentally” steal the data rather than pay a dime.
