Logically Answered | How Reddit Is Being Exploited For AI Training

Reddit just pulled off the impossible: after nearly 20 years of losses, they’ve finally turned a profit. $89 million in a single quarter. And it’s all thanks to AI. Google and OpenAI are paying Reddit tens of millions to train their models, feeding them the internet’s biggest archive of human conversation.

But here’s the twist, those same deals that saved Reddit might also destroy it. Because as AI gets better at answering questions, fewer people visit the site that trained it.


Reddit’s data is valuable now, but once AI no longer needs it, what happens then? The irony is brutal: Reddit’s new revenue comes from the same technology that’s slowly replacing it.


What started as a lifeline could turn into a trap, one that forces Reddit to depend on the very companies eating its traffic alive.
