A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sounds like a great way for Reddit to force anyone trying to train an AI to pay for an ad-free dataset: buy the clean one, or scrape an ad ridden one. You wouldn't want risking your corporate AI to spew propaganda about your competitors, would you?

Enshittification intensifies.

Better yet, ads coming soon to web searches filtered with site:reddit.com ...

And they can still report that as ad delivery when that post is requested, even when the tag is no longer paid for

That user name is a true commitment to seasoning!

I don't know what to do to get good search results anymore if this happens. Using site:reddit.com has been the only way recently to find opinions from actual people regarding some product I'm considering. Maybe I'll just stop buying things and go live in a cave. Can't trust any information online anymore.
