Monetisation?

Licensing the site to AI when there's finally a ruling they can't just scrape the internet for training data while ignoring copyright.

I was told reddit has already been scraped for AI and all sorts of stuff. There is very little new value to sell.

Except AI models may end up having to start again with licences or public domain data.

They are currently breaking the law and delaying legal action as long as possible in the hopes they can repeat the trick with a new data set.

No they’ll train on laundered model output. Like every llama.

The investment thesis they the data is valuable is bonkers. It’s not. Not only has it been exfiltrated and can be laundered in a dozen ways, Reddit also won’t be able to effectively assert copyright.

Look at Facebook. It’s full of reposted quora content now with AI images and AI laundered text.

Reddit is dead
