$RDDT is seeking a new deal structure involving dynamic pricing w/
$GOOGL &
$MSFT OpenAI, under which Reddit would earn more as its data become more valuable to AI large language models
This trend toward formal, paid licensing deals marks a significant shift from the previous era of widespread web scraping.
Note: Reddit is suing Anthropic for allegedly using its data without permission, joining a growing list of companies pushing back on unauthorized use of online content.
Anthropic recently agreed to pay at least
$1.5B to a group of authors in one of the largest copyright settlements in US history
Other content groups allege that various AI model companies have illegally used their data already. Publishers including
$NYT & Penske Media have decided to sue OpenAI & Google, respectively, alleging that the companies have improperly obtained their work without permission, driving traffic away from their websites
