@Gargron In that latest ama, spez mentioned LLMs. I think the API rate hikes were targeting those. Wiping out the 3rd party apps were just icing on the cake. The data still has value. Once the LLM-based bots start overrunning the place, training further models off of it is the snake eating its own tail, and the value of that data plummets. This was the cash out. The site was already about to implode.
