Wait, did reddit make a deal with Google for data mining?
Oh you've missed so much. Yes, they did. Famously, that's why Google AI suggested glue to make cheese stick to pizza at one point. Because of a joke on reddit made by user "fucksmith" some 11 years earlier.
Pretty sure it's also going to tell people to alt f4 as well.
Yes. Yes they did
Yeah famously for like $60 million, which lead to a shitload of users deleting and/or botting their own accounts into gibberish to try to foil it
They got what they paid for I guess.
