1 year agoYes, Reddit is a big dataset and yes, Reddit deserves to make some money off that if other organisations are going to scrape that data, for AI or anything else.
That’s what they should be blocking and monetizing. Not those few users using 3rd party apps. Those folks (posters, mods) are amongst the ones creating that data set for Reddit, free of charge.
They are right about needing to make money to continue as a successful business. But they are doing it the wrong way and alienating their key assets.
Which is why I’m here :)
I don’t care about it being open source.
LJD has proven to be an excellent dev, who also listens to his users. He’s built to a lot of trust as a result.
If he sold Sync, then my answer might be different.
