Don’t know if it was against usage terms, but I have been able to get chatgpt answers written ‘in the style of’ various subreddits since the initial release (or perhaps the second release)
Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.

I stopped using reddit after they dropped the bomb on the devs and I’m not a fan of the company.
I understand the hatred towards them, but this is definitely expected from a company like reddit, and any other social media for that matter. As users we must be aware that we don’t own the content in their platform.

Honestly over the last year since the great migration, the discussions on lemmy have really grown and matured to the point where i don’t really see the value of reddit anymore

The real value of reddit for me lies in its cache of information contained in answers to questions from over the years. Whenever I’m looking online for a solution to a problem I’m trying to solve I’ll eventually add “reddit” to the search and I almost always find the answer that way.

The only use I have for Reddit anymore is for super niche information. For example we were planning to go to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom today but it’s going to rain this afternoon. I checked their site and it said they were open 11-6, my BIL checked their app and at 11:30 it said they were currently closed. Found a Reddit post from someone confirming the park was closed for the weekend, and we didn’t waste a trip up. (as an extra annoying aside, apparently this information was posted on Six Flag’s Instagram page, because expecting a huge company to maintain a website is I guess just too much when they can offload it to social media.)

For me there’s still value in the niche communities like r/rimworld and the like, but for everything else I’m firmly on Lemmy now
