I just copied the title of the Reuters article. It was their exclusive reporting.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Social media platform Reddit has struck a deal with Google to make its content available for training the search engine giant’s artificial intelligence models, three people familiar with the matter said.
The contract with Alphabet-owned Google is worth about $60 million per year, according to one of the sources.
The deal underscores how Reddit, which is preparing for a high-profile stock market launch, is seeking to generate new revenue amid fierce competition for advertising dollars from the likes of TikTok and Meta Platform’s Facebook.
The sources were not authorized to speak to media and declined to be identified.
Reddit and Google declined to comment. Bloomberg previously reported Reddit’s content deal without naming the buyer.
Last year, Reddit said it would charge companies for access to its application programming interface (API) - the means by which it distributes its content. The agreement with Google is its first reported deal with a big AI company.
San Francisco-based Reddit, which has been looking at a stock float for more than three years, is preparing to make its initial public offering filing this week, which would detail its financials for the first time to potential IPO investors. The filing could be available as early as Thursday, two of the sources said.
The company, which was valued at about $10 billion in a funding round in 2021, is seeking to sell about 10% of its shares in the offering, Reuters has previously reported.
Reddit’s stock market launch would mark the first IPO of a major social media company since Pinterest floated its shares in 2019.
Makers of AI models have been busy clinching deals with content owners in recent months, aiming to diversify their training data beyond large scrapes of the internet. That practice is rife with potential copyright issues as many content creators have alleged that their content was used without permission.
Founded in 2005 by web developer Steve Huffman and entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian, Reddit is known for its manifold niche discussion groups, some of which boast tens of millions of members.

What is MLS?
Read the issues on that git and you’ll see that it only works on comments visible from your profile which has a maximum limit. It doesn’t get everything, because of that profile limit. There is a python script listed in there but it requires an API key.
Look at the issues and you will notice it only works on comments visible from the profile page and that not all are visible. It appears that someone made a python script to solve this problem but that you need an API key to use it.
What’s the best method to mass edit my comments?
There’s a bot that goes through and identifies link rot so editors have a backlog queue of them to go through.
To people who say the link won’t work: I opened a private window in Firefox and it worked for me.
Survey research is hard – especially when you are a student learning to do it.
I do this too!
It’s not a blog. These are the strongest of the tech journalists from Vice News’s Motherboard (tech section) who started their own separate venture independent of Motherboard.
Someone should make a github just to make it easier for people to find them all in one place with sources and update the list as we get new ones.
Thirded.
Speaking of this, what parts of the fediverse have added the option to block training generative AI to their respective robots.txt?
https://blog.google/technology/ai/an-update-on-web-publisher-controls/ https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/overview-google-crawlers https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/28/medium-hints-at-a-nascent-media-coalition-to-block-ai-crawlers/
It looks like there’s a handful of these lines you’d have to add to robots.txt
Is there anywhere that keeps a comprehensive list of these?
Yes that’s true too. It’s still better than cable. I had access to even less content back then compared to now.
I use this to find what I want to watch when I have something specific that I’m looking for: https://www.justwatch.com/
I also think people should be pirates.
But streaming, at the same cost as cable, is much better than the decades of cable I remember before streaming actually became a real competitor.
What it was really dropped? 😱
The cost of cable where I can choose what I want to watch when I want to watch it. Whereas before I had to hope that the programming directors for the different channels picked something somewhere worth watching when I turned on the tube.
Pinta is a fork of an older version of paint.net: https://www.pinta-project.com/ I have no idea if it is any good. I just thought that this might solve your problem.
