Nah, he’s just fucking stupid and out of touch how his platform and internet works. He wanted to make profit on companies scraping data for ai’s and move people to official app with ton of apps before IPO but he didn’t expect to people retaliate that much. Now because users were stupid enough to make strike only 48 hours long he decided to wait it out and he was correct, it worked for him and users are giving up with the strike. At least there are still subreddits that strike but it’s nothing compared to first 2 days.
I’m wondering the same, language models have been on the training for years, they already have all the reddit data they want, why would anyone spend a lot of money now for something they already have?
Unless there’s something new we’re not yet aware of, I don’t see how “scraping AI” is a valid reason for what spez is doing.
This is what I don’t understand. Data from before ChatGPT is useful but nothing after it is. Now you can’t tell for sure if anything on reddit is made by AI or not, which is critical for training AIs. It’s like the “bomb pulse” after the first atomic bomb tests which resulted in a release of carbon-14 in the air.
Spez is just flailing trying to make as much money off reddit as possible and trying to find any justification to do so, no matter how illogical it is.

What money is there to make off of language model AIs? They’ve been using reddit comments/interactions for a long time now. They’re too late.

That’s why they made it so expensive, to make money of new data
Many subreddits didn’t even last 2 full days which says a lot about redditors
Some subreddits are even reopening because moderators don’t want to lose their position of slave working for free lol
Fucking landed gentry is right for those assholes
