Huffman has argued the changes are a business decision to force AI companies training on Reddit’s data to pony up

LMFAO that ship has fucking sailed. They already used Reddit data through 2021 and got everything they needed for free. Huffman is locking the barn after the horses are already out, and setting it on fire. What a fucking dumbass.

Plus they can just scrape the data without using the API. It’s a red herring, just a lie to cover up his desire to kill third party apps.

Also no sane company would pay that ridiculous price for training a LLM on memes

Why paying exorbitant api prices when you can scrape for free? Like all those image models clearly trained on scraped watermarked stock images

He managed to paint Reddit as the victim in this, double down on their decision, and then paint the moderators and App developers as the ones hurting users.

Insanity.

These people who are mad, they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free.

I just can’t believe that a CEO of a company who doesn’t pay their moderators would actually say something so tone deaf.
