That's the confusing part -- the person I responded to posited that they didn't pay reddit and thus couldn't use the data which is the only scenario that doesn't make sense to me.
- vineyardmike 3y agoI suppose a "data transfer" from Reddit to OAI would be valuable for SamA too? Still a transfer of value from one hand to the other, while others (eg. Google) have to pay. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they pay now. They can't get away with scraping as easily now that they are better-known and commercially incentivized.
