    Makes sense. Reddit really is a data gold mine. I shudder to think about the profile you could have built of me from my up/down votes alone, much less my comments and posts. FOMO and participation always generating data really just has me wondering if we’ll see a world where “privacy” becomes extinct or culturally different.

      Somebody posted a screenshot where reddit accounts were getting “exclusive offers” to buy stock at the IPO…

      Which means everyone that buys even a single share just tied their real life identity explicitly to their reddit account.

      Having that makes their data on you a lot more valuable.

    He was the CEO of reddit for a few months a decade back or so. They probably tossed a bucket of worthless stock at him zoidberg style.

    The infringement runs deep, I didn’t know my reddit comments were directly going to AI. Had I known that, I wouldn’t have posted so much.

    They encouraged me to give more than I would have, for their commercial purposes, without due consideration.
