I’d rather have AI companies have my data for free than reddshit gettong paid for it

First of all, tacos are friends, not food…

Secondly, I think it’s more important what they did to achieve this goal, locking down the API behind a paywall was their way of creating value in their data. They knew then that it would be too expensive for independent developers to pay for but didn’t care. They knew the money would be coming AI data brokers.
