- willis936 4mo agoAny plans for reddit to compensate their contributors?
- inigyou 4mo agoOf course not, are you crazy?
- 0xDEAFBEAD 4mo agoElon Musk, avowed supervillain, compensates X content creators. It does create some bad incentives however.
- tweakimp 4mo agoThe contributors are already compensated by the ads the are allowed to see.
- 1970-01-01 4mo agoThose little virtual stickers isn't enough? What else could you possibly want as compensation?
- red-iron-pine 4mo agoideally? blowjobs. i ain't shitposting for karma, dammit
- khurs 4mo ago91.5% Gross margin :) https://investor.redditinc.com/news-events/news-releases/news-details/2026/Reddit-Reports-First-Quarter-2026-Results/default.aspx https://investor.redditinc.com/news-events/news-releases/new...
- nextaccountic 4mo agoyishan had such plans, to distribute 10% of company shares to reddit users https://techcrunch.com/2014/09/30/reddit-fundraising/ https://techcrunch.com/2014/09/30/reddit-fundraising/ it was obviously abandoned though
- sunaookami 4mo agoThanks for the gold kind stranger!
- hathym 4mo agothat's good, open weight models do not need degenerate comments to advance on AI
- LaurensBER 4mo agoIt would be interesting to hear if the addition of Reddit data makes LLM stronger or weaker. Outside of some (technical)subs most of the comment seems to be of a far lower quality than what you find in books or in websites.
- NitpickLawyer 4mo agoSomeone did a finetune w/ data from 4chan and found improvements on several popular benchmarks, so ... maybe?
- dd8601fn 4mo agoFor years before LLMs got big a comment I would often see was, "Google search is worthless now. I basically solve all my problems by searching reddit."
- efreak 4mo agoCounterpoint: usernames of people counting numbers with no context whatsoever are so important they have their own tokens, despite being of no value (in fact, negative value, going by the issues they caused when actually used).
