If you think about it:

Reddit gives Google access to everything so that Google can train their AI
Google is now showing AI generated snippets on every search page and is pushing its own AI chatbot everywhere
Users are getting the answer they want from those AI generated answers Google generated from Reddit comments
Traffic to Reddit is collapsing

In the meantime, spez totally trashed his site, destroyed valuable communities and pushed away the mods that keep the place clean. Really, really great business strategy there.

the answer they want from those AI generated answers Google generated from Reddit comments
