Reddit says it's made $203M so far licensing its data - Lemmy NZ

Our data, you mean?

well, not mine. i used a script to replace all of my comments with gibberish before i deleted them and then my account. if they went back and restored my comments, then all they’ll get is comments full of gibberish, especially since i overwrote them 3 times before deleting them, just in case they tried to roll back to the previous version.

have fun with that!

I did the same, but we’re both fools if we think reddit didn’t keep every character we typed (yet alone submitted) in a private, proprietary database.

We weren’t paid for our data. We were given access to a website free of charge. The consent we gave was supposed to be for the operation of the website, not for training AI.

They should fucking pay us.
