“Huffman characterized the Reddit protesters as a small but vocal cadre of angry users who are not in touch with the greater Reddit community.”

But with artificial intelligence-powered large language models like Microsoft-backed ChatGPT and Google's Bard, a massive corpus of conversations is being hoovered up. And in return, Reddit receives very little, he said.

If they take our content and build businesses on it, that's an issue," Huffman said. "If they build businesses such that people come to Reddit less, that's an issue."

"Our content" my ass. This is the same as the CEO thinking they're entitled to the fruits of your labor.

He seems pretty angry about Microsoft and Google hoovering up 'his' data. Funny how he's gone after the 3rd party app developers instead of Microsoft and Google.

Surely those two giants will simply just scrape the data they need if it's public facing, API or not?

If they take our content and build businesses on

Is like all irony lost to this guy? Literally describing reddit.
