I haven’t deleted mine for one simple reason. I plan to go back in and change all my comments to say the same thing (so long and thanks for all the fish). I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let them use my comments to sell for money to people willing to pay the high API costs to train whatever comes after chatgpt. Because if I’m honest it wasn’t about screwing over the third party app developers. That was an added bonus for Spez. He has this repository of internet currated data on millions of subjects getting scraped by every company wanting to train a generative AI. Sure he wanted to drive engagement on the official Reddit app. But that’s still not gonna net him more money than licensing that data for this use case. And he’s willing to sacrifice the site quality as a whole to get it.
