Is it correct that Reddit hiked its API prices in response to realising their data is worth a fortune (since it can be used to train/update LLMs)? Is this understanding correct?
Wouldn't it be possible to do a 'Common Crawl' [1] just for reddit, or would the lag (of perhaps a few minutes) make third-party reddit apps built off crawled data too slow? (if LinkedIn couldn't stop scrapers, why does Reddit think they can?)
I don't know the answer to any of these questions, but I'm really curious.
