    All your posts and comments will feed the future AI’s. That’s the end goal of reddit: selling their database to different AI’s. Don’t give it for free.

      Pretty sure it’s already been scraped. Plus there is the way back machine. But I can’t even count the amount of times I have run in to an issue at work or at home and googled “Problem Reddit” or “item review Reddit” . That info has been invaluable.

      Leave Reddit. No more new content. But it’s sad to see such a knowledge base just wiped. It’s hurting the normal people. Reddit has their data. AI has scraped it, or will scrape the history sites of it.
