And even more confidently wrong.
Confidently wrong? I thought it was getting access to Reddit, not HN.
Hate on HN all you want, I’ve been without my ADHD meds (warning: the company “Done” is not technically a scam) and spending way too much time on each for the past few days, and I can say this for sure: at least people on HN pay heed to the concept of premises and careful, non-combative argument. Most responses on Reddit are “no, that’s dumb” or “yes, that reminds me of my metaphysical takes”…

> oh cool so the contributors of the data are all getting paid? If people on reddit wanted to get paid for their opinions, they wouldn't be posting them for free on a publicly accessible forum that does not even require an account to view... This same sentiment came up when StackExchange started to use/sell StackOverflow posts for AI training too - yet everyone arguing that position failed to recognize StackExchange…
I think people would write blogs and stuff, but reddit communities are so hostile to anything off the platform.

#76Reddit should be paying Google. Some of Reddit’s success can be attributed to the difficulty of getting your personal blog indexed about your ‘87 Nissan Sentra anymore on Google.
Maybe. 75% of their incremental users are logged out and likely coming from Google.
Still, maybe Google also derives a lot of value from Reddit.
Would either of the two risk their position to extort some money from the other?

#77On one hand a measly 60 mill for Reddits data
On the other hand they bought a poison pill
Is whoever behind the decision making here blindsided by Reddit being a massive trove of data, and are not realizing most of that data is shit?

#78> Google Search is currently expanding the test of a "forums" filter that lets you browse through results from sites with human discussion, like Reddit Yeah, about that whole "human discussion" thing...
If you want that now, kagi has a forums lens

#79I hope they're filtering it heavily and specifically. While Reddit does still have some valuable discussion in the more niche subs, I've noticed the main subs moving further left, hatefully and almost violently so. I can't wait to search for who the Republican nominee is, and Google tell me to kill myself.
> I've noticed the main subs moving further left, hatefully and almost violently so. I’ve not seen this. What do you mean?

#80Reddit is really pumping their P&L sheet in preparation for IPO.
The parasites at the top have $ in their eyes rn
