If they were just talking about Reddit, I’d assume something dodgy was going on connected with the IPO. But Quora is supposedly back from the dead too… Am I missing something glaringly obvious here?

    Did you guys read the article? It’s all about how since google and Reddit penned a deal to use Reddit to train google AI models, google is now massively pushing Reddit links in search results.

    And their answer, ironically, is to avoid “Gen-AI garbage.”

    But you should really read the article. It pissed me the fuck off. Because that sounds…massively illegal.

      I wonder if Reddit user activity has noticeably increased. Probably not.

      Like, this will help Reddit in the short term, and honestly is a good idea from a search perspective (how many queries have I manually appended “Reddit” to?), but it doesn’t necessarily help with the fundamentals of the platform.
