$203M in one licenced transaction. Selling their data to Google. No one is falling for this shit.
They need to pay the users with that money
Delusional comment
Or genius. New company idea. Sell data from the start and share revenue with contributors.
How? They're under heavy scrutiny from the FTC over the $60M/month Google deal. Where did the extra $140M come from?
Probably doesn't matter, but this is why I deleted my account instead of just locking it up.
With google being the partner i bet the deal wont mention they cant use older backups of reddit that they most certainly have.
This is why we need better data laws in the US. If I want everything I've ever said on your site to disappear both instantly and forever, I should have that option.
I'm sure you're right about that. All parties involved are scumbags, after all.
... and thats why Wikipedia is non-profit.
Seeing human (even shitpost) achievements get monetized (in the most sucky manner) one by one is sad af.
This is helpful of them, once the EU court fines them, we can quickly calculate how much that will be.
I hope my fuck Spez comments are useful.
Now AIs will fuck Spez for all eternity.
Millennia from now Fuckspez! will be the standard greeting between all sentient species in the galactic federation. It will be even used in machine code as a handshake for establishing initial contact between two subspace relays.
Blow me
It's data?! You mean our data
For everybody who thinks we should get paid for our data, you may want to consider the Data Dividend Project:
Access from your Country was disabled by the administrator.
Damn, might be a US-only thing then.
time to go edit all my old comment with random garbage generated by chatgpt
It is probably way too late for that to make any difference, no?
Probably, but one thing I learned too late in my life is that by being cynical you're assured to never get anything done
Reddit says it's made $203M so far licensing ~~its~~ our data
Fixed that for them.
There's your "tragedy of the commons" fallacy on a stick, folks - the proles where managing reddit so well that huffman had to break it in order to make it more vulnerable to the parasites.
I wonder if they will ever consider paying the users for the content they provide that constitutes "its" data. 🤔
They said they'll be allowing users to cash out Karma.
Pay? They are trying to "stonk" Reddit users by asking them to buy stock for the IPO which screams "We want your data and your money!".
Yeah. They are giving the users the "privilege" to buy shares at the open market rate. Not even at discounted rates. Again US only. What about the others? They just give their data I suppose.
Spez will be happy to know his payout is covered, company is still going to be broke though.
