Microsoft should create and launch a Reddit clone, keep the API completely open for client developers (but not data miners), pay top Reddit moderators to move their communities over, and use the project’s data for continuously training their own AI models.

* Embrace and Extend
* Capturing Developer Tooling via VSCode & Github
* Stealing from the commons with Github Copilot
* Developing Stanglehold of Generative AI with Azure / OpenAI
* An inherent monopolistic mentality
* Untrustworthy
