Comment on Stack Overflow Users Are Revolting Against an OpenAI Deal | WIRED

Is Reddit pretty much the same? From my limited perspective, a lot of the genuine contributors left, quietly or otherwise. I’ve found it much more difficult to have an interesting discussion on there since the API debacle. Most of Reddit was already lurkers and bots, so all it took was a significant proportion of the tiny minority of quality contributors to take their time elsewhere for reddit to become a complete dumpster fire.

Anecdotally, pretty much every time I’m searching for information on reddit a number of comments are redacted or even the op is deleted. The only reason I didn’t purge my comments is in case someone might find them helpful.

  I have all my deleted comments in a csv (with context links), which I plan on fine-tuning an LLM with just for fun. I guess if there’s a platform that’ll accept it, I’d be happy to upload it. Mostly I wanted to make sure the info remains free for everyone, including AI researchers.

    Hugging Face is the usual platform for sharing datasets and models.

Subs that I go on that used to get hundreds or thousands of comments now are lucky to reach 50 or so.

Reddit is still pretty useful, but it will become less and less relevant as contributors leave, if that’s actually what’s happening. Side note: people keep saying that’s happening, but I don’t really see it…maybe it is, but it’s very slow? Might depend heavily on the subreddit too.

  I don’t have numbers, but I did. Took Redact 9 hours to overwrite & delete the 17,000 comments on my 17-year-old account. But watching them scroll by, most weren’t really worth keeping. I saw several 15+ year-old active accounts do the same before I left.

    Wait, how can it find all your post comments? I thought you could only access the most recent 1000 or something like that?

    Through the API - well, it was through the API before they changed it. No idea if that’s possible now.
