The beef between Microsoft and Reddit came to light after I published a story revealing that Reddit is currently blocking every crawler from every search engine except Google, which earlier this year agreed to pay Reddit $60 million a year to scrap the site for its generative AI products.
I know the author meant “scrape”, but sometimes it really does feel like AI is just scrapping the old internet for parts.
