“Reddit represents one of the largest data sets of just human beings talking about interesting things,” Huffman said. “We are not in the business of giving that away for free.”
Typical CEO monetizing the hard work and passion of others. Get fucked, Steve.
I mean, it is partly our fault for heading towards them, what the heck happened with the forums!?
On a second thought, probably not the best solution, the forum that I used to visit often as a kid, rarely for piracy reasons but chatting and whatnot was a Spanish forum called “espalnds”, and it got closed because of piracy and I suffered a lot because of it :(

Wow you’re not kidding
Doesn’t the EU have anything to say about this? Fair competition and whatnot…
Great opportunity for the fediverse to provide better search results
“We are selective about who we work with and trust with large-scale access to Reddit content.”
Sells everyone’s contributions to Google while blocking lesser evils

did it ever?
