Next time reddit screws up in a high profile way, and they will screw up, the fediverse will be ready.

And it doesn’t seem entirely impossible that our Elon Musk fanboy Steve will screw up again.

I won’t be surprised to read in the future:

Reddit charges a subscription for people to mod a subreddit.

I’ve been wondering if the API change was actually a move to prevent anyone but themselves from using Reddit’s data to train AI.

  Likely so, though scraping will still yield the data. Maybe they will make scraping harder too.

    Maybe that’s why their mobile app and new website sucks lol

  That’s what I assumed from the beginning: think of the goldfish for generative ai and they are using Reddit data. Actually, it even seems fair to share in the potential (but what about the users who created it all?).
  
  However if that was their intent, they sure screwed it up

  Yes, they specifically have said they don’t want AI companies to get their user data for free. What’s interesting is that we as a culture have internalized and accepted the idea that our user-made content is something only tech companies have the right to profit from and fight over.
