Is Reddit playing with fire, or just ahead of the curve?
As Reddit eyes a $6.5 billion valuation for its IPO, the controversy over selling user-generated content to train AI models has its 850 million users fuming and scheming to flood the platform with garbage data.
The FTC is also joining the party by opening an investigation regarding Reddit's $203 million AI data-licensing agreements and partnerships with giants like Google.
What do you think, if a platform's value comes from its user-generated content, doesn't selling this data betray a trust and risks denigrating thir main asset or is it just smart business?
