What do we do with this now? Feed it to the AI?

More seriously: it is a market research treasure trove. Use AI to find out what people think of your product, or a person.

Was.

Yes, that's probably why they got cut off

In the case of Reddit I won’t cry for them, but it’s a protection mesure? Like stackoverflow closing it’s api to avoid being siphoned completely.

IIRC, it's not a protection measure. They now realize the data has value, so they want to sell it to people training AI models. That won't work if they keep giving it away for free.

Honest question, their biggest organic signals are from Google or bing, who happen to be the biggest model makers right now ("Open"AI and Bard). What's stopping them from using their crawl data and building models. All reddit is doing is building a gate for small players while big players will leech their data anyway.
