Lmao wasn't the whole API thing supposedly to prevent AI companies from having all that info?

It was just about money.

It was so Reddit could sell the info instead of having it freely available

Twitter and reddit both tightened their APIs because they realized the monetary value of the user contributed content. Certainly not that they didn’t want AI to be trained on it, just that they didn’t want to give it away for free.
