- willis936 2mo agoAny plans for reddit to compensate their contributors?
- inigyou 2mo agoOf course not, are you crazy?
- 0xDEAFBEAD 2mo agoElon Musk, avowed supervillain, compensates X content creators. It does create some bad incentives however.
- tweakimp 2mo agoThe contributors are already compensated by the ads the are allowed to see.
- 1970-01-01 2mo agoThose little virtual stickers isn't enough? What else could you possibly want as compensation?
- red-iron-pine 2mo agoideally? blowjobs. i ain't shitposting for karma, dammit
- khurs 2mo ago91.5% Gross margin :) https://investor.redditinc.com/news-events/news-releases/news-details/2026/Reddit-Reports-First-Quarter-2026-Results/default.aspx https://investor.redditinc.com/news-events/news-releases/new...
- nextaccountic 2mo agoyishan had such plans, to distribute 10% of company shares to reddit users https://techcrunch.com/2014/09/30/reddit-fundraising/ https://techcrunch.com/2014/09/30/reddit-fundraising/ it was obviously abandoned though
- sunaookami 2mo agoThanks for the gold kind stranger!
- hathym 2mo agothat's good, open weight models do not need degenerate comments to advance on AI
- LaurensBER 2mo agoIt would be interesting to hear if the addition of Reddit data makes LLM stronger or weaker. Outside of some (technical)subs most of the comment seems to be of a far lower quality than what you find in books or in websites.
- NitpickLawyer 2mo agoSomeone did a finetune w/ data from 4chan and found improvements on several popular benchmarks, so ... maybe?
- dd8601fn 2mo agoFor years before LLMs got big a comment I would often see was, "Google search is worthless now. I basically solve all my problems by searching reddit."
- efreak 2mo agoCounterpoint: usernames of people counting numbers with no context whatsoever are so important they have their own tokens, despite being of no value (in fact, negative value, going by the issues they caused when actually used).
