Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.

Shit move from Reddit. Glad I jumped ship to lemmy.
Honestly, lemmy has less users compared to Reddit, yet you still get more engagement.

You are glad that you jumped to where AI companies can get the information for free, but are mad at Reddit for getting paid for it.
I can’t make any sense of this.

The difference is that Lemmy admins across the fediverse aren’t making the user experience worse so they can sell the data to corporations for LLM training
EatATaco@lemm.ee 4 months ago
So it’s really that the user experience is getting worse. Feeding ai has nothing to do with it.

I’d rather have AI companies have my data for free than reddshot gettong paid for it

First of all, tacos are friends, not food…
Secondly, I think it’s more important what they did to achieve this goal, locking down the API behind a paywall was their way of creating value in their data. They knew then that it would be too expensive for independent developers to pay for but didn’t care. They knew the money would be coming AI data brokers.

It’s like the difference between volunteering and being forced to do community service.
EatATaco@lemm.ee 4 months ago
In neither case are you forced to do anything so this doesn’t make any sense either.

The only engagement you actually get is on super-niche subreddits. Other than that, the “engagement” is largely indistinguishable from bot traffic.

I come to Lemmy to read threads of people arguing about whether or not they’re talking to each other at all. This is doing it for me.

Are you implying I can’t pick out bridges or motorcycles? I definitely can, but I won’t do it for you as some kind of sick parlor trick.
Speaking of tricks, did you know there are singles in your area!
