I'm surprised nobody mentioned the AI training data deal that Google and reddit have. Google has every incentive to boost reddit rating to get more high quality training data.

What high-quality training data? more like people's garbage opinions and kinks on Reddit.

To be fair, it's less about quality and more about quantity when training LLM.
