I was under the impression that LLM’s are being trained on reddit as user accounts separate from reddit itself. Are you saying that reddit is botting itself on the administrative level? Because that doesn’t seem as profitable as letting outside interests inflate the traffic and ad revenue as users
Not all LLMs are being trained on API data, it is a lot more resource efficient just to give them a copy of the comment database, which has all records of edits stored
would a LLM operator pay for that or care for unedited data? the redditor in me assumes they would prefer it from the source and are aware of Redact but my better judgement thinks they’re probably just average capitalists with a shiny toy and don’t really care about what it reads. Hence why they are using it on reddit
reddit was once considered the highest quality user generated data on current topics, and that archived data is valuable even if the last few years are unsellable
perhaps you are right. my recent years on reddit have tainted the whole experience but maybe a LLM owner doesn’t feel the same way and can simply omit the brainrot. I like your username btw. have a nice week
