At this point we're just speculating. We don't have evidence either way of its mostly good or mostly bad data.

If you can land me a gig engaging with back end data from Reddit in a neutral capacity, it'd likely be pretty easy for a layman like me to confirm that it's largely noise. The AI companies buying data are getting scammed and you are free to remain neutral or plainly disagree with my assessment in the absence of concrete data that is publicly obtainable.

No company is immune to bots and inorganic engagement, least of all Reddit with the strategies employed.

You keep trying to throw out all the data because some is bad. I don't think these companies would be paying that much for all bad data. You seem to really want to justify some bias you have. It's really weird.

Reddit is presumably the only party with the ability to determine which data/interaction is truly legitimate or isn't.

I have a mostly neutral opinion on AI/LLMs, but I have a negative assessment of the companies driving it unsustainably. They are able to pay big money because AI is where money is flowing. When these actors crash the economy with their hubris, please write back to me - maybe I won't seem so weird at that point.
