Reddit is all bots, porn, ads and political shit posts. Good luck getting any useful training content out of that.

    They don't care if the AI produced is useful, they just want to milk as much money from their content as they can.

    The API changes were almost certainly just the groundwork for this and I called it at the time. The ridiculous pricing model for API access is because it's aimed at the hottest tech companies, not third party app developers.

    The enshittification continues because it's what neoliberalism demands. They'll sell your content and the data they have about you and still show you ads, because that's the most profitable. Ethics and product quality don't even enter into it.

    Liberal market gives end users choice. If they don't choose, they get the consequences.

    This is more like people choosing Trump like types and complaining. Alternative exists, choose it.

    "The free market can fix it" is just another neoliberal lie, pushed precisely because it doesn't work. Rather than holding corporations accountable, it blames the population instead.

    The reality is that boycotting businesses isn't always an option and when it is, it's usually a luxury. Very few products are domestically and/or ethically produced and when they are, they're extremely expensive, especially for people being fucked out of every cent by their bosses, landlords and utilities.

    It's why the most hated companies in the world continue to bring in record profits.

    Regulations are the real answer, which is why neoliberals oppose them.

    I really don't care about people who behave like they are living in North Korea or who wants a North Korean World to live in.

    Even Digg people could say "No, F you" to Digg superstar owners. It is just a damn URL to type.

    I wish it would die, because honestly some of the porn was great and Lemmy seems to be the one place on the net that doesn't specifically ban porn, yet has none of it anyway.

    I miss bodyswap and part tf captions....
