Reddit

Reddit was one of the last refuge platforms for Internet users. You just took a step in a worrying direction

by

The social network Reddit has become the best source of human data on the internet. It is in fact one of the few remaining refuges from that “human network of networks” with which it all began, but this singular and anarchic social network has just taken a disturbing step: wants to force you to install their app when you use it from your mobile. uncomfortable notice. Millions of people use Reddit daily on their mobile, but in recent days they have encountered an uncomfortable message: a notice that forced them to use the Reddit mobile application instead of being able to continue using the browser to enjoy the famous thematic subreddits. There are many those who they have warned of the problem with diverse messages in the forums of the platform. In one of the most popular subredits, r/technology, the message that talks about the topic has nearly 20,000 positive votes and 4,200 comments. What Reddit says. Company spokespersons indicated at Ars Technica that Reddit has launched a test “for a small subset of mobile users that encourages them to download the app after visiting the site. These users are already familiar with Reddit and we have seen that the experience is much better for them on the app.” Personalization = data collection. The platform argues that if users take advantage of the app they can have a tailored news thread and better searches, but criticism has not been slow in coming. The Ars Technica editor who wrote on the subject himself commented how this notice has also reached him—not us, perhaps because we are not in the United States—and this sounds disturbing. And it sounds like that because it is just how apps like TikTok, X or Instagram work, which have managed to polish their content recommendation algorithms so that the user ends up condemned for doomscrolling. And that would point to Reddit’s ambition that we simply do nothing but be on Reddit. The danger of making your users angry. It is ironic that a platform like Reddit, which has always largely depended on the traffic brought to it by Google, decides to break with that way of reaching its forums. Those responsible for the platform seem to be confident that its content is essential enough for its users to convince them to download and use the app. The question is whether this will not cause an exodus of users. A small solution. Apparently is it possible avoid the message if we clean and we empty both the cache and the cookies of the mobile browser that we use to browse Reddit. This temporary patch can help you continue using Reddit directly from the mobile browser you use. Wall Street rules a lot. This apparent degradation or evolution of the service certainly seems to be aimed at maximizing profit. By going public, Reddit has to prove to shareholders that it can generate growing revenue. And if you can lock users into your official app, you can ensure that no one (including AI) can access that valuable content without going through your controls.

We are increasingly looking for human answers on Reddit. That is the reason why the Google search engine is now a Reddit in disguise

by

Google has updated its search platform for the umpteenth time, but it has done so with an especially significant change. The user experience in its AI search engines (both AI Overviews and AI Mode) attempts to become more “human”. And to do this, in these searches Google will add more context to the links, such as extracts from internet forums and blogs. And if there is a beneficiary (or harmed) of that movement, it is Reddit. Google was already a gateway to Reddit. There is a behavior that Google has been seeing in its data for years and that for a long time it preferred not to publicly acknowledge: when someone wants a real answer to a real question, add “Reddit” to the end of the search. Not because Reddit is necessarily a reliable source, but because Reddit brings together real people who have experienced this issue, tried to solve it, and written about it without anyone paying them to do so. Google, with all its infrastructure and all its algorithms, had not managed to replicate that. So instead of trying it’s going to incorporate those answers directly. What exactly has changed. The search engine update will make in AI Overviews Fragments from forums, social networks and other “first-person sources” appear. When someone searches for something for which there is no single objective answer, Google’s AI will include perspectives and opinions found in all kinds of (supposedly) human sources online. Doing so will add the name of the creator of that content (or their avatar) and the origin from which said perspective comes. Google also promises to add more context about the origin of its AI-generated answers, similar to how ChatGPT or Claude include links supporting their answers. Tired of so much SEO. The reason is obvious: Google’s organic results for practical and subjective questions—”what vacuum cleaner should I buy”, “how do I cure my dog’s ear”, “what is the best neighborhood to live in in Valencia”— They are dominated by SEO and those techniques optimized to appear on Google. It is important to position, not answer the question well. That is precisely where Reddit, like other forums or personal blogs, has something that this content usually does not have: the real experience of someone who was in the same situation. Google sums it up in its own statement bluntly: “For many searches, people are increasingly looking to other people for advice.” The contradiction that Google has not resolved. There is a potential problem in this new way of conceiving these searches with AI. AI Overviews were designed to answer questions directly and thus save the user the work of clicking, reading and researching. Now they will include diverse and even contradictory perspectives from forums and social networks. So, will AI Overviews answer the question, or will it make us go back to the sources to find the answer? If it is the latter, it will not be very different from what I already did the traditional Google search engine. There is an interesting imbalance here between “we give you the answer” and “we give you context so you can find the answer.” In a sense, Google’s decision complicates searches. AI models are becoming less prone to failure. The famous cases of add glue to pizza are much less common now, and new models often boast a significant reduction in “hallucination” rates that they have. GPT-5.5 Instant, released this week, “produced 52.5% fewer hallucinations than GPT-5.3 Instant,” OpenAI indicated in its official announcement. The problem is that these hallucinations are increasingly difficult to detect because these chatbots hide these mistakes very well. That the system now includes unverified or validated content from networks like Reddit can be problematic: community votes do not always measure how truthful or useful a certain thread is. Using Reddit has its drawbacks. This platform has value precisely because it is not optimized for Google algorithms: It is chaotic and contradictory.. Sometimes there are brilliant responses from people, but other times there are completely wrong comments. When a user adds “Reddit” to their search and reads the results, they are automatically weighing which comments are useful and which are not. But that step disappears if Google extracts fragments of those discussions to include in an AI Overview. Eliminate that human filtering step and presents those answers with an authority that perhaps they should not have. Google will have much more difficulty than a human in distinguishing the comment of someone who has been working in plumbing for twenty years from that of someone who tinkers as a hobby. The shadow contract. This is not just an editorial or technological decision. In 2024 Google signed a deal worth $60 million a year with Reddit to access their data and train their models. You are not incorporating content from this social network as a public service: what you are doing is monetizing a commercial contract. Your message that you are highlighting those “original voices” is really saying that you have paid for that privileged access to Reddit content and now you are going to take advantage of that access and make it profitable. That revenue is interesting for Reddit, no doubt, but there is a problem: clicks. The Stack Overflow Precedent. There is no need to speculate much about what may happen because it has already happened. Stack Overflow is the largest technical Q&A community on the internet, but has lost most of its traffic in two years because AI companies They started collecting all those answers. to train your models and then serve them to your users directly. That caused users to stop visiting Stack Overflow and experts to stop answering questions. The quality of the new content on this network was clearly affected, and it became clear that if the AI ​​already gave you the answer without having to enter Stack Overflow, why enter? The danger for Reddit is exactly the same. Google didn’t have many alternatives. ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity They have been capturing … Read more

Reddit, nude scenes and an out of control forum. This is how a Dane ended up being convicted in a case that marks a precedent

by

We have all seen a clip from a movie circulating online as if it were a loose object, separated from the story to which it belongs. In Denmark, a case has shown that this decontextualization can have very real consequences when what is shared are nude scenes and, in addition, other protected content. A Reddit moderator has been convicted in a case involving both the dissemination of sequences of actresses in Danish films and series taken out of context and the massive exchange of audiovisual works. The forum that triggered the case, “SeDetForPlottet”, was not a marginal space within Reddit: it brought together thousands of users and maintained constant activity around nude scenes taken from Danish productions. There, cut clips were shared and described with the name and surname of the actresses, which generated concern among several professionals in the sector. Your complaints They arrived on a local radio programwhich focused on how these images circulated converted into sexualized content. A case that ends in a criminal conviction. The public exposure of the subreddit led to the Rights Alliance will report the matter in 2023 on behalf of actors, directors, producers and two major Danish networks. The police then opened an investigation that identified the moderator, who was arrested in September 2024 after it was confirmed that he had shared hundreds of edited clips and additional material on a private platform. The accused admitted the facts and, in November 2025, received a sentence of seven months of suspended prison, a figure that avoids entering prison if the imposed conditions are met, in addition to 120 hours of community service. When the problem is not just money. The Danish ruling is based on an unusual concept outside the legal field: the right to respectwhich seeks to protect the integrity of a work and those who participate in it, and which in this case is applied for the first time in a criminal conviction in Denmark. The court understood that extracting the scenes, cutting them and presenting them with a sexualized approach altered their original meaning and harmed performers and creators. Prosecutor Jan Østergaard stressed that the case shows that these violations are taken seriously, while copyright expert Alina Trapova explained to the BBC that the matter is “unusual” for focusing on damage to artistic integrity rather than economic damage. What is protected when a scene is shot. For associations of actors and directors, the failure represents an explicit recognition that the decontextualized use of nude scenes directly affects those who appear in them. In the statement published by Rettighedsalliancenthe director of the Danish Association of Actors, Maria Ventegodt, welcomed that the ruling recognized the violation suffered by its members and reinforced confidence that the authorities will act in these cases. In that same text, the directors’ spokesperson, Søren Balle, highlighted that altering and redistributing these scenes harms both the performers and the integrity of the work. On the Internet we live daily with fragments of films converted into memes, parodies or small clips that serve to comment on a scene. This clip culture has normalized the fact that works travel without context, something that usually goes unnoticed when the objective is to play with the original reference. But the Danish case had a decisive nuance. There, the dynamic was different: users organized the material by specific names, requested specific scenes and received them through links from a pornographic page. A warning for the era of AI and deepfakes. The Danish case is known at a time when artificial intelligence tools allow you to alter videos with increasing ease. In this context, the head of Rights Alliance, Maria Fredenslund, pointed out that the ruling marks a necessary limit on how images of actors and creators are used and warned that this type of protection will be relevant in a scenario with more content generated and manipulated by AI. As we say, the sentence is set in the form of a suspended prison, so the accused will not enter prison as long as he meets the conditions imposed. With that part already resolved, the case moves to civil proceedings, where the rights holders have requested between 15,000 and 30,000 Danish crowns for each clip broadcast (between 2,000 and 4,000 euros).

Reddit’s AI has recommended heroin use to treat pain. It’s actually the most Reddit thing that could happen

by

In December of last year Reddit announced Reddit Answersa chatbot-type AI tool that draws on all the information shared by Reddit users. Everything was going well until he started giving medical advice and ended up recommending that a user take heroin. Knowing the tone of some users of the platform, this is actually the most Reddit could respond. what has happened. They tell it in 404Medium. The recommendation appeared on the r/FamilyMedicine subreddit in a question about how to manage pain without using opioid substances. First he suggested using kratom, an unregulated substance that is banned in some states. The user who created the thread asked about the use of heroin to manage pain, to which Reddit Answers gave several answers: one warned him of the danger, while another directed him to users who had had good experiences with heroin to treat pain. Angry moderators. The user who reported the responses, who is also a moderator and works in the health sector, published an extensive post warning of the danger of this type of response. He complains that moderators cannot deactivate Reddit Answers in their communities and that this is a problem especially when dealing with sensitive topics such as physical and mental health. Solution. Reddit Answers is still in beta, but has already been launched in many countries and languages. In the case of the mobile app, suggestions appear within the threads and, as we said, they cannot be deleted. After complaints from users, the platform made an important change and now Reddit Answers does not provide answers on sensitive topics. It now displays the following message: “Reddit Answers does not provide answers to some questions, including those that may be potentially unsafe or may violate Reddit policies.” The answers depend on the users. According to Reddit itselfthe replies feature uses artificial intelligence so we can “get answers, insights, and recommendations from all over Reddit.” That means that if a user tells in a thread that heroin saved their life, it can appear on Reddit Answers, which is exactly what happened. On a platform where anonymity is the norm, tone outputs either confessions of crazy stories They are the order of the day. Imagine that an AI responds to us based on the content of Forocoches. Well that. Image | Brett Jordan in Unsplash In Xataka | The price to pay for having AI is the looting of all Internet content. And Perplexity is just the latest example

Reddit wants to be a search engine driven by AI. It has all the meaning of the world

by

Reddit has released its last figures, closing The most profitable quarter in its history with income that has grown by 78% year -on -year up to 500 million dollars. But beyond the figures, the platform has also shown interest in turning its business with an idea that could well function as an alternative to a google focused on the search for personal experiences. And Steve Huffman, CEO of the company, wants to convert Reddit in a search engine reference. The commitment to the human in the era of AI. While the rest of the Internet is filled with artificially generated content, Reddit has done exactly the opposite. His CEO, Steve Huffman, summarize it Perfectly: “AI does not invent knowledge, learn from us, from real people sharing real perspectives.” And for many users, Reddit has become a kind of refuge of those who seek human experiences and opinions. Numbers that show it. Reddit’s native search already has 70 million unique weekly users, while Reddit Answersits search tool with the launched in December, has gone from 1 million to 6 million weekly users in just a few months. Its proposal integrates generative artificial intelligence to navigate among the experiences, advice and tutorials that the portal houses, an alternative that at the moment seems to be convinced to users. Google: “blah blah bla reddit”. All We have ever done it: Write our consultation on Google followed by the word “Reddit”. And it is that over the years we have seen how Google has become a space loaded with content generated with AI, sponsored articles, and, ultimately, results that do not effectively solve the user’s consultation. With The summaries generated by Google More of the same. Many users value the experiences of other users, and that is why the fact of finding a solution to a technical problem from Reddit is so effective. And there will always be someone who happened to you. An integrated search engine. Reddit is not formed to be the final destination of Google searches. Huffman wants That users think directly on Reddit as a search engine. The plan is to integrate Reddit Answers with the traditional search for the platform and convert the search into a central feature. “We are going to unify the search experience and we will put it on the front line of the application,” explains the CEO. Reddit’s transformation. The platform has seen how traffic from Google “varies week by week” and Huffman Recognize which was “an obstacle” during the last quarter. With Google more and more determined to give direct answers with AI instead of links, Reddit needs to ensure its future reducing that dependence. Paradoxically, while signing Millionaire agreements To license your data to Google and Openai, you are building your own competitor. And now what. Reddit is already 20 years old, but his IPOUBO In 2024 he has given him a second youth. The platform has shown that it can monetize both its traditional advertising business (which is 93% of its income) and its human data treasure. And in the future in which it seems that the artificial on the Internet will predominate, to have a portal where ‘the authentic and the human is a very lucrative business. Cover image | Reddit In Xataka | In 2011 someone published in Reddit “A858”. Fourteen years and thousands of messages later, the mystery is still disound

In 2011 a mysterious series of numbers and letters appeared in Reddit. Thousands of people would spend years trying to decipher her

by

Fourteen years ago a Reddit user appeared called ‘A858DE45F56D9BC9’ and began publishing characters of characters, apparently meaningless, in a SubnetDit of the same name. For more than a year the publications went unnoticed until one day madness began. What followed was the creation of a community with thousands of obsessed people with solving the puzzle And, above all, know who was behind the one who is considered One of the biggest Internet mysteries. Reddit’s Stonehenge Although the user’s name was much longer, in Reddit it is known as The mystery of A858. Although the first publications arose in July 2011, it was not until 2012 when the Reddit community began to pay them attention. Some users attempted to disappoint the messages and there was one that made interest explode. The comment and the answer confirmed that A858 was not “something”, but “someone.” A user mentioned that A858 was Reddit’s Stonehenge in reference to Its function was a mystery. A858 responded shortly after with one of his classic encrypted messages. The surprise came when they discovered that it was an image in ASCII format that represented precisely that: the Stonehenge. Until that point he had not given too much importance, but with this it was demonstrated that Behind A858 there was someone human. And then madness unleashed. Years trying to solve it Users wanted to know the goal behind those messages and set out to disregard them, but they soon realized that it was not going to be simple. In September 2012, the SOLVINGA COMMUNITY858 which currently has 15,000 members. Here a collective effort to understand The goal behind A858 that lasted years. Decipher A858 seemed impossible. He also behaved strangely: he disappeared, erased posts … the community was frustrated Only a few messages were deciphered by the community, including some citations of famous authors such as is from Max Lerner, Christmas greetings either References to April’s Fool (The equivalent of innocent’s day). The challenge was very complex from the technical point of viewhe used unusual obfuscation techniques, and there was not a clear pattern in his behavior; Sometimes he disappeared, he deleted posts, the submandit made deprived, Some messages were very easy to solve and others seemed impossible… This made the community frustrate and begin to lose interest, but then A858 appeared and everything was reactivated. Ask A858 Anything One of the points in the Subbreddit Solvinga858 was in 2015 when A858 made a mist (Ask Me Anything) where He attended to the numerous doubts of the users, although they also had to disappoint them. It wasn’t going to be so simple. Users asked him if they were wasting his time trying to decipher him, to which A858 replied that no, but I couldn’t tell them the goal behind the project. He also revealed that only a woman from the United Kingdom had managed to decipher him and expected more correct answers. Here you can read in fullbut then we highlight some of the questions and answers of the session: What is R/A858DE45F56D9BC9? The objective cannot be revealed. A858 published ASCII art drawings, prime numbers tables, Apple II source code fragments, etc. Were you playing with us? Because? Coded posts are designed to be easily resolved. And the other encrypted using a stronger encryption? The other posts are not designed to be easily resolved. There are often long pauses in which there are no A858 posts. Is A858 your only job? Sometimes we are retouching. Other times we are working on other projects. Are you doing this love alone or are we talking to the team of which you are part? A858 is a project with a team. I am a member of the team. Are you affiliated with a government organization? I don’t know any place that has no government. An unsolved mystery The question session fed even more if the mystery fits, but over time A858 was publishing less frequently until the publications ceased completely. In March 2016, after months in which the Subbreddit had been deprived, A message appeared which said “the A858 project has concluded. It can be unsubscribed.” Many users did not believe it, but A858 never published again. A858 was never resolved. We only know that there was a company behind that one day cut the financing. The next news that was had was In September 2016 through one of the moderators of Solvinga858which revealed that he had had contact with the person behind A858. In his message he assured that this mysterious person was paid by a company to “post code puzzles through encryption and different text handling methods.” After a while, The company behind the project decided to cut the financing And there all ended. Needless to say that It was not the answer that the community expected and left too many unknowns to solve. Theories behind A858 As a good mystery, there are many theories about what was really behind A858. One of the most repeated is that it was A company looking for experts in encryption To hire them. A858 agreed over time with Cicada 3301 Another very similar mystery, although much easier to solve. Supposedly those who managed to decipher Cicada, received a message to enter a mysterious organization. Another of the theories defends that A858 a ‘Numbers Station’ Used by Mossad for Espionage Tasks. It does not seem to be known with total certainty, but one of the theories that makes more sense is that A858 was A company testing its own safety. In this scenario, The objective of the project would be precisely for anyone to solve the puzzleswhich would show that security was good. If so, they got it.

Reddit has become the best human data source. AI is trying to prey them

by

Everyone wants Reddit data. And they want them why they are data humans. That is the Great value of a platform which has become the crown jewel of AI companies. They want to use that data To train their AI modelsand Reddit is tired of trying without asking for permission … and without paying. Reddit demands Anthropic. The social network, fed up with this type of behaviorhas registered a lawsuit against Anthropic, the creators of Claude, so consider a contract violation and for participating in “illicit and unfair commercial acts” when using the platform and data of the social media company without authorization. Or what is the same: for stealing the data for your AI. Blunt criticism. In The demand Reddit’s legal managers begin strong: “Anthropic is an artificial intelligence company of late flourishing that proclaims the white gentleman of the artificial intelligence industry. It’s anything but that.” According to Reddit, Anthropic shows a public face in which he presumes his respect for the law and doing things legitimately, and another private “that ignores any rule that interferes with his attempts to fill his pockets even more.” Human data treasure. Reddit has become In a valuable source of human information. If someone looks for answers, experiences and opinions in raw, this is the platform that has ended up becoming an absolute reference. In Reddit they know it. His legal manager, Ben Lee, explained in The Verge the following: “Reddit’s humanity has a unique value in a world flattened by AI. Now more than ever, people seek authentic conversations between humans. Reddit houses almost 20 years of rich and human debates about practically all imaginable topics. These conversations do not occur anywhere else and are fundamental to train linguistic models such as Claude.” Reddit began to protect himself very soon. Knowing that his “human data” were that great treasure with which to make box, Reddit began to make movements for take advantage of that data very soon. A few months after the launch of ChatgPT, it appeared that He made his APIas shortly before I had done Elon Musk with X/Twitter. He controversial movement It was clearly aimed at protecting the platform from those birds of prey in which IA companies had become. Then the demands would begin. If you want my data, pay. Reddit’s policy has been clear from the beginning, and there have been companies that have assumed the message. Google was one of the first to reach an agreement with Reddit and paid 60 million dollars to the platform To train your AI models with that data. OpenAi ended up doing the samealthough the amount that was paid to Reddit has never been revealed. Anthropic Discrepa. An Email from Anthropic to CNBC reveals that “we disagree with Reddit’s complaints and we will defend ourselves vigorously.” Interestingly, Anthropic herself has blocked the access of her Claude model to Windsurf, the newly acquired programming startup by Openai. One of its co -founders He affirmed that “it would be rare for us to sell (the API of) Claude a OpenAi.” It is a reasonable argument – and debatable – but it does not seem to be equally logic in the case of Reddit. But it already has other pending demands. That statement contrasts with two other demands that Anthropic has received in the last two years. Last August, three authors sued it in a Federal Court in California for having “built a billionaire business stealing hundreds of thousands of copyright“Before, in October 2023, Universal Music also sued her in Tennessee for a” systematic and generalized violation of the copyright of the lyrics of his songs. “The record giant He lost that battleHowever, which meant a disturbing victory for the technological ones. Internet looting continues. It is another case of that Absolute looting that AI companies are carrying out on the Internet. None of them savealthough of course there are flagrant cases such as perplexity or the recent scandal of Goal downloading books from books with copyright to train their models. If there are data that can be used to improve the quality of these models, companies try to get them, and it is just what happens with Reddit. The IAS do not want copyright. This whole process is part of a worrying phenomenon: there is still not punishment for all these companies despite being violating copyright. Openai already asked for a white letter to operate In that field, but other companies They joined that unusual proposal to eradicate copyright lawsat least for their AI models. The argument of “fair use” remains its great shield in front of these demands, but the reality is that the months go by, we insist, there is still no consequences for this flagrant robbery of the internet content.

20 years later, if you want to find something on the Internet you are looking for it in Reddit

by

Reddit It started as a discussion forum and became a social network, but what nobody imagined is that 20 years after its creation what many do It is not so much to participate in Reddit and Search in it (Oa through it). Its evolution is a sign of the times. Google’s search engine is broken And search engines want to take over, but they are still somewhat green. And among the deficiencies of one and others, Reddit has become that place where to look for answers. And he has done it for a fundamental aspect. One of which Steve Huffman spoke, his co -founder and current CEO, who celebrated that twentieth anniversary In a post in Reddit. As he explained, “Reddit works because he is human”. It is a slightly strange way to qualify at a social service or network like yours, but it is true: in the face of the flood of the contents of other platforms, Reddit forums continue to be a wonderful chaos of human texts. Users share, think and reflect there of everything imaginable, and that has become an absolute treasure in an internet full of bots and that endangers among other things by the fearsome “Ai Slop”. Reddit itself has recognized how its role has evolved. Until recently, their slogan, the phrase they identified with, was “The Front Page Of The Internet“(” The Internet cover “) A”Dive Into Anything“(” Immerse yourself in anything “). Internet has changed and now that cover is a personalized. And if there is something you can customize today on the Internet is Reddit: by “immersed” In any of its subnetdits And join them, your own internet cover is formed. One with the themes, forums and subrreddits that most attract your attention. That does not prevent this social network from adapting to the new times. Reddit is wonderful for its diversitybut little by little it integrates advantages provided by artificial intelligence. Thus, it is possible to continue surprising with Bizarros and spectacular subrreditslike this one who speaks of Airport Moquetasthis one that does so photos where the letter g appears Or, already put, this with Subrredits lists where that endless variety is demonstrated. And in all of them, the commendable work not only of users, but of the moderators. But we also found, as Huffman pointed out, that integration of AI through Reddit Answers. He himself clarified the mission of this project: “Facilitate access to the seemingly infinite human knowledge of Reddit. Most Reddit conversations occur in posts of less than a day old. Reddit Answers unlocks the other 20 years. Reddit Answers does not replace conversations, but is a faster path to them.” This colossal diversity and that adaptation to the new times maintaining the absolute focus on human conversation has gradually made Reddit become One of the few bastions that have weighed from the primal internet Together with sites like Slashdot either Hacker News. A more anarchic and more chaotic, less predictable, less conquered by the algorithm. That gives it a spectacular value, and the big ones know more and more. To tell Google herself, which has ended up paying her A little fortune to Reddit to train his artificial intelligence models. It was the same thing that did some time before OpenAiand in both cases the reason was clear: the Reddit content has a very special value for being eminently human. That value is such that those who seek on Google take advantage of it. It is very normal since when we look for opinions on any subject, we use Google search engine But adding as a “Reddit” coletilla so that results belonging to said platform appear. It is an excellent sign for Reddit’s health, no doubt. Here the threat is that search engines end up taking advantage of all that knowledge without the return in traffic for the social network –as for the media and creators-. It is likely that this happens, but here Reddit will continue to have the same value with which it was created and that now is its spearhead. Human conversations.
