    We all hope this does poorly, but reddit has an ai training model goldmine it’s sitting on, and investment opportunities for people who want in on ai are confusing.

    It’s really all that it has, but it’s probably gonna do well for as long as they keep the ai bots off reddit, which poisons that well.

      Can reddit actually defend that database? Almost all the comments are public and they don’t actually own the copyright to other people’s words so I don’t think they could sue someone who scraped them. I suppose by going through Reddit the buyer would protect themselves from the users suing, but that doesn’t seem like a huge risk.
