This move by reddit is so crazy I can't help but wonder if they're lighting all this user goodwill on fire in the hopes of improving their negotiating stance with folks using reddit for other things (like OpenAI and others training models), and that they're thinking they'll be able to change API pricing for Apollo and others once they have those big contracts locked in. It seems incredibly risky upfront, and with hindsight right now, totally untenable if that's the game they're playing.
