If you think about it:

  1. Reddit gives Google access to everything so that Google can train their AI
  2. Google is now showing AI generated snippets on every search page and is pushing its own AI chatbot everywhere
  3. Users are getting the answer they want from those AI generated answers Google generated from Reddit comments
  4. Traffic to Reddit is collapsing

In the meantime, spez totally trashed his site, destroyed valuable communities and pushed away the mods that keep the place clean. Really, really great business strategy there.

What's the point of being Uberwealthy if you can't just do whatever you want, whenever you want?

People keep quoting that Musk gave DT $250million to support his campaign, like hell... Musk bought Twitter and ran it into the ground to support DT's campaign, that was far more significant, and far more costly than a mere $250M.
