Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site.
...
Huffman acknowledged that if those users instead browsed with Reddit's own app, it would shore up the company's bottom line.
Hmm.

wow that's got some seriously detailed info - it's dataisbeautiful worthy
Is there a new dataisbeautiful that celebrates actual good visualizations, or are we just going to go back to jerking each other off to poorly labeled excel charts with trendlines going every which way?
Thanks for the info. I've been following the Reddark site, but it's a broad brush without detailed metrics. I can't help noticing that all 203 sites that Photon-Reddit has still marked as dark have more than 1m members. Many have a few dozens of millions. That must be having an impact.
Friendly heads-up @CaptObvious@lemmy.world, this community (Lemmyworld) is starting to be moderated to be more about this server in particular as it notes in the sidebar.
Threads like this are probably better suited to the newly formed Reddit news community or General community.
Noted and my apologies. It seemed relevant in that Lemmy, and lemmy.world in particular, will be impacted by his decisions. I’ll take any future conversations to those communities.
Meanwhile, companies that already copy the whole web for their search engines (e.g. Microsoft and Google) still don't need to make API calls to get Reddit posts.
More generally, anything that can be seen by a not-logged-in browser can be indexed by search engines and thus ingested into any training pipeline you can imagine.
This is part of my complaint against Reddit doing this. Google and Microsoft already have the data, they are just ensuring smaller companies and open source LLMs fail. I am also a little annoyed by the app thing, but I think it's important that we don't let tech giants monopolize this new technology.
I deleted my reddit post history, it's not their data to sell.
Really a terrible interview. Bobby Allyn needed to have some pushback or followup questions, instead of just publishing a statement with little to no context.
