Tbh it probably is. I don't use Reddit much anymore for discussion or news or memes, but when I need the answer to a problem or an opinion on a product or service from actual people instead of an overly long review listicle, Reddit search results are still very useful.
I agree. Not only do they have the relevant content, it already has a numerical evaluation by a relevant user base.
But it's not even their data. They lose nothing from AI models.
It's ALL user-generated content. What harm comes to reddit the corporation by allowing AI to train off the user's activity?
Why give it away for free when you can sell it?
