> Reddit is hijacking content by requiring it to be hosted on it's own CDN.. does it require it or provide it as an option? as far as I know you can submit image URLs just fine. gyfcat and imgur videos are regularly on r/all. hosting multimedia content provides a better experience. does it have downsides? yes. just with google's AMP. a bit offtopic, but tiktok creators' fund is already shortshelling creators. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAZapFzpP64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAZapFzpP64 and this endless reposting of viral content ... well, it's ongoing since we have viral content. is it great? of course not, but it's not like the reddit CDN somehow changed anything with regards to this problem. youtube has contentID ... "creators" are free to organize and advocate for reddit/IG/tiktok to introduce it (or lobby US/EU/China to mandate it or whatever)
