Reddit Inc. has signed a contract allowing a company to train its artificial intelligence models on the social media platform’s content, according to people familiar with the matter, as it nears the potential launch of its long-awaited initial public offering.
This sucks balls. Sure, it sucks to hand everything over to reddit, but there’s lots of valuable information on there and that is actively being deleted now. To me that seems like a bigger loss than losing the platform to corporate greed. Imagine if people did the same thing with stackoverflow when ìt was sold in 2021…
I still have all the data. I downloaded an archive before deleting. Now we just need a way to bulk upload it to Lemmy.
That’s some great foresight ;)
