Well, how do private subreddits sell ads & provide training info for AIs?
<checks notes>
Oh, they don’t.
Well now I’m even more annoyed. Removing a safe space for profits. Great job Reddit.
Cash, what humans invented, is important, humans are totally expendable.
Yeah, we can always make more humans, but cash is forever

A man of culture, I see.
It will never be a safe space as long as spez is around
period. Centralized systems like Reddit are inherently beholden to the views of the people who own the central hub. Even if the people at Reddit now were “cool”, eventually a piece of shit would end up in a position of power and compromise the site. As we have seen time and time again, both recently and throughout history, we cannot allow our systems to be contingent on the assumed goodwill of the people who run it. Said differently, we need to assume that bastards will take control at some point in the future, and intentionally design our systems to be robust in the face of disturbances caused by bad actors.
