Not gonna lie, isn't that why were here technically? Reddit didnt want its API being used to train AI models for free, so they screw over 3rd party apps with it's new api licensing fee and cause a mass relocation to other social forums like Lemmy, ect. Cut to today, we (or well I) find out Reddit sold our content to Google to train its AI. Glad I scrambled my comments before I left, fuck Reddit.

I jumped reddit ship when the API changes were announced, and removed my comments. But in my mind, anything on reddit at that point was probably already scraped by at least one company

They're almost definitely trained using an archive, likely taken before they announced the whole API thing. It would be weird if they didn't have backups going back a year.

Thankfully that was my 3rd and last alt I scrambled and deleted in the 12 years I was there.
