Reddit is OpenAI's moat (www.cyberdemon.org)

Interesting theory for what might have been another motivation behind the API changes. After all, Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) is a member of the Reddit board. What do you think?

I've heard the inverse reasoning that the API is limited because of OpenAI crawling it - which makes no sense if CEO is part of reddit board.

I just don't care at this point ;)

Yeah, but the reasoning in the post is that OpenAI has already profited from the data, and might have a better position to negotiate special access with them than smaller companies, thus reducing competition.

I can guarantee that openai has not taken the data of reddit though API, they have crawled it through like everyone else (Google, Microsoft, etc.). Reddit doesn't want to limit that, it would hurt their Google visibility.
