This is not so bad. Reddit is crawling with bot spam and that will increase as users leave the platform every time it does a stunt to pump the stock price. The percentage of real/fake content will decrease and will poison the training pipelines. It's a great experiment to test model collapse in real time, really.

MODERATORS
This is horrible news. Reddit is a horrible website and only getting worse. OpenAI promoting them and using their garbage content to train their AI systems is alarming. This is so dystopian.
And of course it always leads back to money:
Sam Altman is a shareholder in Reddit
Ain't you glad you gave Reddit content for free and they're reselling if for millions?
I like how they monetized their API and data because they don't want it to be used to train AI models, and now they are selling user data for millions to OpenAI.
