Reddit getting paid to do fuck-all while their users generate all their content.

Actually, it's worse than that because Reddit actively makes the site shittier every month.

Don’t forget at least half the stuff on Reddit these days is posted by AI bots. Enshitification all the way down.

What's it called when you sell something you don't own?

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

  • theft?

  • piracy?

  • ... scalping?

  • selling on margin?

You wouldn't download petabytes of information that was generated by the public for free and try to monetize it

DOWNLOADING IS PIRACY
