Reddit stock tumbles the most on record as lack of new AI deals, US daily users metric disappoints

Why would AI want a continuous deal with Reddit? Don’t they get all the data they need the first time? I doubt the new content is worth as much as the previous deal… maybe I don’t understand what these deals are for.

Presuming they took all the data, a one-time deal would only be good if knowledge gathering actually stopped after the cutoff year- but for recent things like tech and news, the models have to keep learning and adding to their repositories.

The returns on that value sharply diminish, of course, but I think they’re still necessary. Which will leave everybody in a bind that is very funny.

Why do they need a deal? Can’t they just steal it like the rest of their training data?
