  Are you somebody invested in Reddit? Genuine question.

    No, I’m not. I don’t care at all if they’re successful or go under.

    Sure, but again it’s not likely to be most. You don’t seem to realize how hard it is to get data that is already classified. That stuff is gold to people developing AI. Most of the work in data science is cleaning data and getting it into a usable form.

      It’s noise, a very large part of it. Reddit is financially motivated to make the data appear as if is signal. It isn’t - they have taken extremely minimal steps to ensure actual human participation.

      This doesn’t matter to AI companies, but it only warps that technology more and more. AI is a sinking ship with current methodologies. Reddit will die when the AI bubble bursts and those involved with Reddit already cashed out enough to be filthy rich (e.g. Steve Huffman sold 500,000 of his shares in the IPO, indicating he will make $17mn).

        At this point we’re just speculating. We don’t have evidence either way of its mostly good or mostly bad data.
