I disagree, it's still too early and a bit presumptuous to make such conclusive statements

I am sorry but you don't know what you are talking about. These things are regulated by legal documents, you don't just wake up on morning and say "trust me bro, their data is public"
If you go and read their TnC's it explicitly statea that scraping is forbidden without prioir written consent. They only allow access to their data via APIs, which of course they charge for
The fact that it can be easily scraped it's neither here nor there, if they catch you they can sue you
Technically not (well, they can make it harder), but they can sue them for doing it
Oh I'm not saying they are doing the right thing or that it was the correct decision. Just speculating whether LLMs is what kicked off the whole thing
Good try, dessalines, but I ain't biting 😉
I’ve yet to run into any of these individuals.
...you wrote, only half an hour earlier 😉
Exactly because we made the mistake once, in more naive times, we don't want to make it again...
No one seems to have any problem with some of the extreme anti-human ideologies that a lot of social media ceos have.
That's patently untrue
I mean I like the lemmy-verse, but the main devs behind Lemmy are totally tankies. It's the reason why a lot of people are hesitant in joining
This is the main developer (one of the only two developers) - if the avatar wasn't enough, have a look at the "essays" repo in his account... https://github.com/dessalines
Does it matter what Reddit's business model was founded on? Businesses respond to changing conditions all the time and pivot.
"they got greedy" seems really a naive way of looking at it. They are a business, that's what businesses are all about. Additionally, they are a busienss which is NOT profitable, and need to to change things to survive now that the era of low interest rates has come to end. The real issue is that they are so inept IMHO
I find the word "entshittification" so cringe
Interesting. Do you have a link to the specifics of the law you are talking about?
It's a 13 minutes rehashing the same points everyone has been making to death. And it doesn't even mention LLMs
