Shit move from Reddit. Glad I jumped ship to lemmy.
Honestly, lemmy has less users compared to Reddit, yet you still get more engagement.
π Will you marry me?
Are you implying I canβt pick out bridges or motorcycles? I definitely can, but I wonβt do it for you as some kind of sick parlor trick.
Speaking of tricks, did you know there are singles in your area!
They can make entire hot dogs disappear! Crazy, right?
One bite at a time, you sickos. Omg, you pervs.
...didn't have to be the mouth. I'm still impressed.
Your stipud ! (both sic and /s btw) -> there, now you don't have to go back to Reddit to recall the nostalgia, you are ... welcome, I guess?:-D
Ahhh, that's the stuff. π€€ Do it again.
πthis
(Did that do it?)
Your (sic) WRONG!
About EVRRTYHIGN! (sic)
I may know nothing myself, but I still have an opinion and will share it with you, consent be damned!
Why I... [Reddit cap exceeded, please deposit $10 to continue conversation].
You just engaged.
Or admitted to being a bot.
This isn't Reddit though.
I feel like that comment was edited to be less ambiguous.
If gollum and Steve Buscemi had a secret baby
You are glad that you jumped to where AI companies can get the information for free, but are mad at Reddit for getting paid for it.
I can't make any sense of this.
The difference is that Lemmy admins across the fediverse arenβt making the user experience worse so they can sell the data to corporations for LLM training
So it's really that the user experience is getting worse. Feeding ai has nothing to do with it.
I'd rather have AI companies have my data for free than reddshit gettong paid for it
First of all, tacos are friends, not food..
Secondly, I think itβs more important what they did to achieve this goal, locking down the API behind a paywall was their way of creating value in their data. They knew then that it would be too expensive for independent developers to pay for but didnβt care. They knew the money would be coming AI data brokers.
It's like the difference between volunteering and being forced to do community service.
In neither case are you forced to do anything so this doesn't make any sense either.
