I get that it’s annoying, but reddit deserves to burn.

Reddit as a company is 100% unaffected by this

To an extent they are. Part of the appeal of Reddit was that you could find good answers there. But yeah, the idea that “long term their reputation may suffer” is hardly affecting them in any demonstrable way now.

100% unaffected? It makes their data worth a lot less for AI training. Even if they keep comment history, these are edits - how do you determine which edit to use? Using all of them poisons the data, and picking one risks doing the same.

People paying reddit aren’t training their models by scraping the web ui.
The original comments are still in the database, which is what you’d pipe into an LLM.

and how many people do the same thing you do? they don’t really care about 1% of dedicated users…

…you’re joking, right? There is not a company in the world that is happy to ignore 1/100th of their revenue disappearing.
Is it going to kill reddit? Of course not. Are they “100٪ unaffected?” Of course not.

the more technical helpful users are likely to do it, you think the vast majority of users give helpful comments?

Sure, but the users are.
