Reddit seems to be in the business of extracting as much value as it can from said forums without completely destroying them.
I call bs. It’s been completely destroyed for a while.

I think they’re more upset AI companies scraped 'em and they didn’t get paid.

You mean Reddit told Google? They actually have an agreement with Google where the latter get a direct feed of new posts and comments, and index them pretty much immediately. So not sure where you got the ‘told Google to pound sand’ idea.

They threatened to cut Google off from training AI and their stock dropped.
