Nice of them to protect their (users') content from AI scrapping. So that they can charge AI companies for it instead.

    They aren’t doing that. They are protecting content from being scraped for free. Reddit is perfectly happy to charge for AI access to user-generated content.

    No, that's not what's happening. They're preventing scrapers from accessing the content at no charge. They're totally willing to make deals for access to their content in exchange for money.
