You’ll need to make a licensing deal, like Google and OpenAI have done, to use Reddit content for model training and other commercial purposes.

So it's not actually about protecting anyone's data, or making the internet a nicer place to be at all, Huffman is just mad that they're potentially missing out on more revenue streams. I can't say I'm surprised

*mad that he torched the site for this business model, only for Google to find that the data was basically useless for training

It's about Reddit protecting their own data, not yours as a user.
