  Tbh it probably is. I don’t use Reddit much anymore for discussion or news or memes, but when I need the answer to a problem or an opinion on a product or service from actual people instead of an overly long review listicle, Reddit search results are still very useful.

    I agree. Not only do they have the relevant content, it already has a numerical evaluation by a relevant user base.

    But it’s not even their data. They lose nothing from AI models.

    It’s ALL user-generated content. What harm comes to reddit the corporation by allowing AI to train off the user’s activity?

      Why give it away for free when you can sell it?

      It is theirs though; that was the cost of having a “free” service to use…
