If they want organizations not to scrape their content, tough toenails; stopping them is impossible.
It's especially impossible to stop Google and Microsoft from doing it, because they already have a search index full of said content.
Spez is alienating his loyal user base for nothing.
Yeah they could have left current large 3rd party apps alone and said any new API connections from AI companies and etc will be charged 20 million dollars a year..
That wouldn't work either. They'd just scrape the HTML, feed that to the AI, and not pay Reddit one rusty cent. Even I could implement that, let alone a billion-dollar AI company with an army of top-notch programmers.
