That’s how little they got‽ Holy shit. That’s the steal of the fucking century for all that content. Reddit clearly puts the same stock in its negotiators as it does its 3rd party ecosystem. Anyone who values them more than maybe 2x this price for their IPO is a fucking idiot. Forget Trump’s Art of the Deal. spez needs to write a book.

I have a replacement action set up to change a ? and a ! to ‽. I use it at least once a week!

Considering that the data has almost certainly been scraped already, that might have been the best that they could get for it. Or else the companies might just get it from their archives/training sets for free, like they did before.
