While infra is much easier now, there are still a number of rough edges that drive non-technical people to managed solutions. While great for getting things going the costs demand your product make a certain amount per month and per byte transferred and per CPU cycle spent processing that request.

With as many AI companies wanting training data the Reddit API is going to get hammered. Most of those companies will likely be unable to pay the fees so they’ll go elsewhere, hopefully to the fediverse. Also, given time we won’t need petabytes of training data. I expect this API money grab to be shortsighted both from the emigration we’re seeing now and tech improving.

Part of what made Reddit great was that humans answered actual questions with relevant details, and these answers were searchable by Google, and people knew they could get at those answers by filtering their search with site:reddit.com. but if the community fragments into the fediverse how will that filtering take place? On one hand, it is nice that humans populate the content rather than SEO optimized ad-filled garbage that is the web now. On the other hand it is still subject to the capitalistic whims of a CEO. I worry that once Reddit goes the way of Digg we will have lost the golden age of the internet, where you could interact and ask questions of a human community, with experts listening to niche subreddits.
