Reddit has a recent history of cutting off access to scraper tools as AI companies have begun to use (and abuse) them en masse, but it’s willing to provide that data if companies pay.

There it is. People who post/comment/vote on reddit are creating monetizable resources for Reddit. ofc Reddit doesn’t want to give it away for free, they want to get PAID. Hey, maybe some of it will “trickle down” to the Worker Snoos.
