This is certainly part of OpenAI's plan, and a warning shot to other user content-driven sites. An extortion play, if you will, which is business as usual now for fucks sake.

heh I wonder if all the "old" content getting messed with and/or removed is causing issues with the algorithm/scraper.
For unauthorized scrapers? Definitely
For paid API usage? That tends to not be public for obvious reasons but, allegedly, people have, allegedly, done tests and found "deleted" content in the results.

Does Reddit stock pay dividends or offer shareholder voting? Is most of it at least hell by their owners, giving at least a financial interest to having its value affected? Then it might as well be Yet Another Crypto Scam, in which case it isn't really going to affect Reddit because they've probably already cashed out.
What people don't realize is that the stock market is largely based off of on speculation on who's going to buy or sell when, the articles that tie it directly to how the company performing are basically fortune tellers either telling their customers what they want to hear or catering to their customers by manipulating how their readers will behave.
People use belief in the value of money to illustrate how crypto has value. The stock market is a far better analogy, and there are plenty of confidence scams to go along with it as well.
Oh no!
Anyways what's everyone having for lunch? I'm having bean burritos.

I noticed reddit threads have "AI answers, suggestions on the bottom of every page".
Good, hope it crashes.
They were the architects of their own demise
as soon as they went public everyone knew it was going to get worst, its also the same time they started banning people in massive purges.
