It's mind-blowing how few of these articles mention anything about where people left reddit/Twitter to go to.

So eloquent, yet not a word of actionable information.

They can’t make money that way

That would only make sense if the periodical itself advertises on Reddit. Otherwise, how would it even affect them?

One of Reddit major shareholders is Advance Publication. Advance Publication is a parent company to Conde Nast. Conde Nast is a parent company to Wired.

It's like Russian dolls but it all comes back to the same investment group.

Good.

Stagnation is a bad thing. We need stuff like this when sites get too big for thier britches.

That showed its loading 18MB, are web pages really that huge today?

That's a cool call. It might be pulling some deep links? I put it the original page into rankwatch and it says it's 987KB.

This reads like when I'm trying to correlate a movie or book I barely watch / read to an essay topic. It's like yes I guess but it's a weak point and much better things can be discussed. The whole AI training is dumb. There's hardly anything on reddit worth using. Plus, lot of things can be found on a google search. The API charge is nothing but greed. Well that's my take on it.
