A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'd be surprised if the data was just content. Memes and texts aren't particularly valuable.
However, data that can be used for tracking/developing user profiles such as what they're subscribed to, how active they are, and how they all link to one another is especially useful for conpetetitors and marketers. Plus any personal data such as emails and profiles. I wouldn't be surprised if you managed to get a huge amount of data under 80gb if it's just text (think how big a 80gb excel sheet would be)
