Like the author of this paper said, for me it's not really about third party apps. The problem is that reddit try to monetize a content that is our collective property.
Is it our property though?
Intellectually speaking yes, but legally speaking? Probably not. Chances are if its stored on their servers, it belongs to them.
Yeah, pretty much this. When I post anything on social media I intend to speak publicly to anyone who wishes to listen. I'm not speaking to Reddit, Lemmy, whoever in confidence, so no matter what the ToS says, my intent is any advice or anecdote I give is anyone's to view and use, not in the content host's sole ownership.
Not the Hacker News that I'm familiar with.
I'm partial to https://www.hckrnws.com/ because I am just a lurker.
It's a Telegram bot that filters top rated articles in news.ycombinator and it links them like that. You can click the 'comments' link and see for yourself.
Why not link directly to the hacker news post then? I'm always suspicious about redirect services like that.
Yep, reposts bots are expanding.
Why?
I figure its fair to charge for access if you pay the moderators and the contributors.
Seems like they are taking over the moderator roles now, by force. Maybe the mods will also be the main contributors soon?
I also think it is the greater good to let AIs train for free.
I'm not entirely sure about this. Freely available AI's, sure, maybe. But corporate closed source AI's that charge per token? I'm not saying no, but I'd love to hear someone justify the thinking behind why this is "the greater good".
