Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. (www.reuters.com)

This is sad to read because I agree with all of it (except the casual sexism).

why in the fuck do we tolerate these assholes making profit off it like this?

Look at this thread. People delete their posts on Reddit. Which means that they can no longer be scraped for free. Which means they are now exclusively available in Reddit's archive. It's not that people tolerate it. It's that the first instinct of people who don't tolerate it, is to make it worse. What can you do?
