I’m down for that as well. It’s their info, and they can do with it as they please. I have no right to it, unless they allow it. I totally understand the frustration of not finding the info you want, but I still support the practice.
It sucks that’s where we are, but WE didn’t steer the ship here. Now we just need to play ball within the confines given to us.
And one of the things they did with that info was to license it to Reddit, who is now authorized to do what they please with it. No backsies.
Right on, no need for concern about missing data then. Problem averted.
Reddit has the data. AI trainers have the data. Ordinary people Googling for help with their obscure problems get the junk it was overwritten with.
Which is bad in the short termine, but good in the long term, as that means less traffic to Reddit. Ultimately that means that in the long term Reddit will pay the consequences for the actions it has taken.
