I know this isn't news but, I recently was taken aback while reading an article on an environmental website and there it was, a reddit post I had made being used as content for the article.

I just read a link to "people dot com" and tons of their content is from reddit posts; you can bet people are going to recognize themselves in those articles - full on "AITA" posts.

As the old saying goes, "you are the product".

I stopped posting or using that hellhole years ago. Most of what I was posted under syaadmin even that sub turned to shit.

Don't forget Reddit sells your data to OpenAI as well.

Lol no wonder DDG ai is complete shit. Reddit posts are bots, trannys, mentally ill; jeets and other thrid worlders.

Its like 60% reddit, and then 20% google results (which also includes reddit). The other 20% is largely Wikipedia and webmd or something.. so yeah.. if you use AI for anything that matters.. well your probably not doing yourself any favors.

I can safely say my comments are likely easy to spot because of typos.

Course I’m not in reddit, when they made me use old.reddit to view all the support posts I was looking for I said fuck you and never went back. I only have to look at that on occasion anymore.
