Reddit CEO says Google is scraping its content at unprecedented scale
The remark matters less as a data point than as a signal: Reddit is publicly framing the value of its user-generated corpus, the same asset it licenses for AI training, as something being extracted without terms. That framing usually precedes a commercial or legal push. Platforms sitting on large archives of human-written text face the same question, and AI developers dependent on that material are the counterparty. The open question is whether this stays rhetorical or becomes a licensing dispute; no figures or formal claims have been disclosed yet.
