• Appending reddit to google search has become the only way to get meaningful search results, without it it’s a shitshow of clickbait garbage, I can’t imagine what it will become if it’s not allowed anymore to index reddit data.

    I understand companies not wanting data to be scraped for AI training for free, it’s not only reddit according to the article, also news sites, I think it’s a legit concern.

    I believe at this point governments should wake up and regulate the matter of AI training globally, leaving it to individual companies will only damage users all over the world.

    • Interesting thought: Google wants (needs) reddit’s content, and reddit wants to IPO. Why doesn’t Google just buy reddit? It’s pocket change to Google, really, gets them what they want (content), gets reddit what they want (money).
