So the article states that spez has made this decision in order to prevent/capture ai from taking data from his business for free. So to monetize reditor work to train AI models, and provide data. I am sure that there is an EULA out there that says reddit owns your contributions on the plate form. But ultimately that will be for the content creators to decide on if they want to participate in that, especially considering that they threw the baby out with the bath water if they didn’t intend to target this party apps.

But lets be honest here, he wants people to use the reddit app for the same reason he wants AI capture.

The EULA / TOS can say whatever they want, actual laws are above that idiotic stuff anyway.
