The deal to sell UGC is said to be worth about $60 million on an annualized basis, and most likely absolutely nothing will go to the users who generated these content. Should users be compensated for it? I feel like we should. How or how much we should be compensated for it? idk, but hopefully not just more karma!

Reddit has a new AI training deal to sell user content

Reddit’s reported AI deal comes as it prepares to go public.

In a move that will further erect barriers online, social service Reddit intends to limit the ability of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine to index its website. Why? Because AI companies, unable to scrape Reddit directly, were scraping indexed versions of the website. Yes, this is tedious, but Reddit is a public company with investors and quarterly earnings to meet. And yes, this is tedious, but AI companies are hungry for novel data and Reddit generates plenty each and every day. Expect further escalation. theverge.com/news/757538/..

Reddit set up an elaborate trap to allege that Perplexity was illegally scraping up content from its site. How shocking—not the honest folks at Perplexity! nytimes.com/2025/10/22/te..

Reddit is getting smoked amid elevated trading activity, deepening a rout that has seen shares sink 15% in the trailing eight sessions heading into today. The consternation appears to be driven by reports on social media that suggest ChatGPT is using Reddit content as a source much less often. sherwood.news/markets/red..

The beloved community/aggregation site announced an experimental new AI search tool that will be exclusive to a small group of beta users. Their search results will include “interactive product carousels,” including images, pricing, and direct links, should they feel like making a purchase. The items will be selected by AI based on recommendations from the community (so long as they align with Reddit’s shopping and advertising partners, of course). Reddit launched custom ads based on a users’ search data and interests last year, and keeps looking for new and innovative ways to get you to stop reading comments and make some impulse buys. techcrunch.com/2026/02/19..
