Comment

Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this 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.

That’s less traffic, which is less ad money, which comprises the vast majority of their revenue.

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.

    except we are talking about USERS disappearing, not revenue. it is likely that revenue actually increased, because x+n (where n > 0) people paying more than zero generating more than zero is bigger number than x generating zero.

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