I feel like the “real reason” behind this stems from the pricing for AI training. Reddit wants to capitalize on its user-generated content for AI training. the safest way to do this, and ensure that no AI company can do this, and those large AI companies can’t argue that they’re getting unfair pricing compared to app developers.

That’s reddit’s big plan: sell user-generated content to large AI companies. That’s how you make a platform like reddit profitable. You resell content you got for free to massive companies willing to pay high prices for that content.

Probably the thing that disgusts me the most in all this is how spez has been constantly trying to drag Christian Selig’s name through the mud when it’s crystal clear that he (spez) is the problem.

Love to see the downvotes; wonder if he’ll beat out EA’s legendary disaster.

Feel like this would be the one to do it if any of them beat it. So out of touch and slimy

It seems so bizarrely personal at this point. It's strange.

He's jealous that the Apollo app is nicer than his app.

He's the one that blew the whistle which made the whole thing blow up.
