CEO Steve Huffman says tech giants should not be able to trawl Reddit’s huge store of data for free. But that information came from users, not the company

That “corpus of data” is the content posted by millions of Reddit users over the decades. It is a fascinating and valuable record of what they were thinking and obsessing about. Not the tiniest fraction of it was created by Huffman, his fellow executives or shareholders. It can only be seen as belonging to them because of whatever skewed “consent” agreement its credulous users felt obliged to click on before they could use the service.

Ouch

      regret, if our chemistry allows, this but one fickle moment mining deep rocks for small things. I can’t feel or hear or breathe with all the desperation outside of me. What do I feel? Am I born? Am I alone? I can’t tell, the noise is muffled by my own chain of biological command. mom, I can’t hear you anymore.
