A. Nothing said it was exclusive.
B. Reddit's value is in the community more than the data. A company with Reddit's data but not Reddit's users is worth relatively little.
- newsclues 3y agoHow do you extract the value from the community?
- beambot 3y agoSell access to the community-generated data for $60M ARR per license...
- paulddraper 3y agoSell ads, Senator.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoSell narrative, Senator. Now how much can we put you down for?
- burningChrome 3y agoWell, I've known several people over the years who have created a multitude of accounts for the purpose of selling them when they reach around 100K karma to various activist and political groups. He didn't care what they were doing with the accounts, but it seems there's been a black market for user data and user profiles with high Karma counts for a long time now. The only things I can think of Google using that data for are for nefarious purposes.
- vineyardmike 3y agoNo, arguably it’s worth some subset of $60M. That number includes future access, but it also includes a license to all that has already been written.
- skhunted 3y agoI think in the race for AI dominance that human generated data is extremely valuable. The community is valuable only to the extent that is contains lots of human generated responses on specific topics. I’m not in AI research so I know I could be completely off base.
