But with artificial intelligence-powered large language models like Microsoft-backed ChatGPT and Google's Bard, a massive corpus of conversations is being hoovered up. And in return, Reddit receives very little, he said.

If they take our content and build businesses on it, that's an issue," Huffman said. "If they build businesses such that people come to Reddit less, that's an issue."

"Our content" my ass. This is the same as the CEO thinking they're entitled to the fruits of your labor.

I guess the subreddits weren't committed enough to the whole blackout thing. :/ It's a shame really. Situations like these show that companies can get away with almost anything if they care more about profits than their image.

I'm protesting by disappearing like a fart in the wind.

I left Reddit because Apollo is going away and the official app is shit. I’m staying away for good because I have no desire to support this guy Huffman in any way. He is the epitome of what greed does to a person. I can’t believe this guy was one of the founders and has absolutely zero respect for the community that was created there. Capitalism corrupts people and I don’t want to be part of it.
