| Reddit and stackoverflow have heavily degraded over the years long before ChatGPT existed, we should remember that. They offered a convenience by burning money and the mismanagement and pre IPO shenanigans certainly are not helping. They don"t own the content and the communities or the user base that can move from irc, aol, to discord. What did they learn from dead communities of the past? Do they sell traction and convenience that they own or are they claiming they sell content which they don"t own? Users curated the content, and most effective mods have left. The content in large parts of their sites has become stale or degraded long before OpenAI existed. Graveyard communities cannot curate nor pay for server costs. AI is convenient curation and people are paying for the convenience. AI sites are also losing money per click with server costs that are out of the galaxy compared to the cached html and elastcsearch serving crowd. We have seen the ridiculousness of the AI sites' attempts to introduce management features, short of putting penguins in the desert for animal diversity. But the great teachers of bad management features were reddit and stackoverflow who also actively killed community developed management modules. They are failing because they lack basic understanding of the teachings of centuries of civil society and they make up what is right, wrong or politically correct ad hoc based on marketing. Just trying to avoid bad publicity that could scare off potential IPO crowd only introduces community debt and grievance. That is what has been killing them. Wikipedia has not been crying foul but has been curating the most quality content for AI but on a low cost setup for its size. I just think its better to donate there content and money, |
