Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: 'It's time we grow up and behave like an adult company'

I guess the subreddits weren't committed enough to the whole blackout thing. :/ It's a shame really. Situations like these show that companies can get away with almost anything if they care more about profits than their image.

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.
