You could tell they got scared when subs got the idea to go NSFW.
Such a great idea.
I still find astonishing that tech crunch buys the argument of ML model training.
No one in their sane mind would use the API (that have always been rate limited) for fetch data for text generation. People would use HTTP or, even better, archives of reddit.
Why? Because there is better or no rate limit, there is no need to write anything (only reading) and it will stay free 🙂 Also super fresh data is not dramatically useful (except in very specific corner cases when something in the news change the way we talk)
Web crawling has always worked through raw HTTP/HTML parsing, why create site specific API calls that require authentication and are throttled.
This excuse is pure bullshit.
Wait an article I read earlier is claiming that subreddits are business as usual. Now, this article claims the opposite?
yeah, i want to know the reality not some delutional article
That’s the media for you 🙄
Could you share the link to that one? Thanks. Looks like this TechCrunch article is sourcing info from emails with advertisers partnered with Reddit, not just from public statements about visitor traffic published by Reddit themselves.
I wonder what the measured metrics are internally. Funny that those earning metrics would’ve been more readily available had they already IPO’ed on the public market.
Guessing it’s this wired article
(Disclosure: WIRED is a publication of Condé Nast, whose parent company, Advance Publications, has a majority ownership stake in Reddit.)
LMAOOO
I think it’ll take a while for us to know the real overall impact spez’s decision has made on Reddit’s user base. Until then, it’s really just speculation unless something concrete comes out (like financial reports etc).
Love it, I deleted my 150k+ karma account last week and never visited again
I’ll do it on 1st July. But first I have to delete all my comments. Takes some time.
Those numbers hardly describe a “plunge”. Much lower impact than I had hoped honestly
