Did you guys read the article? It’s all about how since google and Reddit penned a deal to use Reddit to train google AI models, google is now massively pushing Reddit links in search results.
And their answer, ironically, is to avoid “Gen-AI garbage.”
But you should really read the article. It pissed me the fuck off. Because that sounds…massively illegal.
I wonder if Reddit user activity has noticeably increased. Probably not.
Like, this will help Reddit in the short term, and honestly is a good idea from a search perspective (how many queries have I manually appended "Reddit" to?), but it doesn't necessarily help with the fundamentals of the platform.
You scratch my back, I scratch yours
