Lee DunaReddit says it's made $203M so far licensing its data
just_another_personOur data, you mean?
gregorumwell, 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!
LOL. I did the same. And I confirmed many months later that the comments were not restored.
Now I hear that Google wants to train their AI on reddit content. Haha. Good luck with that, Lorem Ipsum! 😁
DreadPotatoIf you actually replaced with “Lorem ipsum” texts, it would probably be easy to filter the garbage from the dataset.
Also, they probably have copies of the comments before the edits that are just not presented in the frontend.
I didn’t. At first, it was basically a long ass message about deleting my comment out of protest. Then a few subreddit mods banned me, so I changed them to “almost makes sense” word salad 😂
I ran the script, changing the text each time, several times for good measure.
They still haven’t reverted it, and it’s been more than just a few months now.
