Not necessarily. With some forms od tracking being curbed, just being sent the who accesses which webpage on what device when (the bare minimum for attestation) has lots of value. And google won’t stop at the bare minimum of data grabbing, of course.

This has to be false. If only ‘er’ remained, the ‘Twitt’ would have been removed. But the twit is still in charge.

Not guaranteed, but it might help you turn a 44 billion dollar company into a billion dollar company.

Why even involve users? Bots posting AI generated stuff. Upvote bots upvote, comment bots comment and repost bots repost. Its the ciiiiiircle of life…

The big AI companies will almost certainly not pay the usage fees as they are for everyone else. What this might accomplish (and might be the goal) is to bring them to the negotiation table for special deals, lump sum payments etc.

Reddit is currently trying to monetize their user comments and other content by charging for API access. Which creates a system where only the corporations profit and the users generating the content are not only unpaid, but expected to pay directly or are monetized by ads. And if the users want to use the technogy trained by their content they also have to pay for it.

Sure seems like a great deal for corporations and users getting fleeced as much as possible.
