Reddit revenue idea: sue the heck out of developers of various LLMs and other models trained upon relatively high-value Reddit content, and switch to licensing the Reddit corpus at fees high enough to put Reddit in the black.
Also, reconcile with contributors, and reverse some recent changes.
- vineyardmike 3y agoThey just licensed the data to Google for $65m, so it’s very possible to reconcile the remaining 90M they’re in the hole for. But it’s not clear if a license will be needed. Oh and the CEO made much more than that 90M last year, so you could cut his salary and immediately be profitable, no AI sellout required.
- Scoundreller 3y agoWe don’t know who else they were already licensing it out to. I think a contract with Google is too big to keep it under the radar (or Google wants their involvement to be known).
