I have a hard time sympathizing with people complaining that Reddit made it difficult to freely scrape the entire site to train AI. I also have zero empathy for Reddit that they are hopefully going to lose a large chunk of that data from users that don't like being treated as free labor.
With Reddit's history of editing the database directly to make a point at the expense of its users, who's to say they don't have the full history of a person's post and will just discard the posts changed by addons like this? Or if not revert the changes on the frontend, they just provide the full history to AI trainers?
