Did you ever stop to consider that you don't hold the rights to this content?

What is the copyright on content which has been posted to HN?

I don't remember entering into any sort of contract or license agreement with HN (besides the obvious that HN can make zillions of copies of my work to show them to other users). Users have copyright to their posts and comments as expected.

I don’t remember entering into one with Reddit

FB, I think it was sort of implied.

Feedback: I really don't want to give out my email for this. I'm already signed up to enough junk. I've never felt the need to query HN before so while this might be entertaining it's not enough for me to create an account.

Also on a personal note, even though I know every comment I make is public and indexed etc. etc. I find this kind of creepy. I don't like being part of an AI dataset.

This is understandable, but I'm sure all the HN comments have been a part of training dataset for many chatbots now. In fact, this is a gold mine of sane and valuable sanctuary of comments, so this must have been definitely helpful.

True, but I find it fairly offensive that my own data is being sold back to me. If it was free I'd be more tolerant. They say the model is costly and I believe it, but what exactly are the margins here? I feel like I've been recruited into some lame hustle.

Thank you for the feedback. This product was made to connect to your own database. I thought it was fun to connect it to the HN bigquery public dataset. We are break even on a good month.

This could be an opportunity to come up with a standard keyword people could put in their profiles on this and other sites to opt-out of being indexed in AI, stats, etc... e.g. NoIndex NoAI ... Obviously it would not be any more enforceable than robots.txt but it's just a suggestion.
