I think the real money now is selling data for AI training. At least that's the vibe I'm getting now from all these social media sites limiting API shit. We live in weird times.

    It’s weird. Social media seems to have gone from selling users’ eyeballs as ad revenue to selling users’ voices for automated content creation.

    It's not so much that there's money in it.

    Just that some of those AI companies are making a lot of money, and social media wants that money.

    But those AI companies are going to try and find a new free way rather than giving up millions of dollars they didn't have to before.
