    turn the platform’s more than 22 billion posts and comments “into structured intelligence for smarter marketing decisions”

    Bwahahahahahaha fuck you

        Doesn’t matter, admins have access to every message revision, redacting only keeps it off of reddit undeletes (which don’t work anymore anyway) and out of the users’ eye

          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

    putting community conversations front-and-center in the user experience and blending AI-driven efficiency with real human perspectives

    So, reading between the lines, Reddit is going to collaborate with advertisers to make their bot spam falsified social proof campaigns successful, while pretending that’s not what is going on.

    Intentionally blurring the line between ads and user posts. Same stuff as always.

  • Those redditors will be squeezed for all their worth, everything they read will be a targeted ad.

    Each user will be put into their own ai-ad bubble for maximum pressure.

    Would the cofounder of reddit,who died, would he have tolerated what reddit is turning into?

    Don’t know much about him but to me it sounds like he would hate what reddit has become

      Aaron Swartz, yeah probably.

      Also, who knows, money seems to have a corrupting effect on some…

      Thats why spez pulled strings at the DOJ to ‘make him an example’. It was all orchestrated deliberately to turn reddit into a fascist platform

    99% of the time I look at reddit, if at all, with a PC. You can clearly see posts that are marked “promoted”. I have never clicked on any of them and don’t understand why anyone would.

      A good portion of posts are unlabeled organic advertisements masquerading as normal content. Reddit probably doesn’t make money off of those directly, but they are amazing for the advertisers posting them.
