Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models

It's the insistence that everything that people do must be compensated with money. People have spent years posting on Reddit for fun, without any thought to being paid for it, and now all of a sudden someone else is making some money so they're demanding that they should get their slice. And doing what they can to wreck their earlier efforts when they don't.
How does Reddit making some money licensing this stuff harm those of us who contributed to it? Is there any problem aside from "I wanna get paid!"?

Why do you think it’s about wanting a slice? They posted on Reddit with no expectation of profit. But they don’t want others to profit off it either. It’s not that complicated.

And that's why I call them selfish. It doesn't harm them in the slightest if someone else profits off of it.

They wouldn’t have posted if they knew this was going to happen. They posted because it was fun, not for this.
They may be morally opposed to AI (as there are many valid reasons to be opposed to it), or they may just have wanted to have been able to make an informed decision before posting, but by retroactively training the AI on their posts they’ve robbed them of the agency to make that decision.
That’s why they’re upset.

And that’s why I’m calling you either a moron or a tool. Probably both.
