    I don’t get why Google would agree to pay for anything. Google can survive without Reddit, but Reddit would be hurt without Google and would eventually be forced to give in. Where’s that corporate greed when you need it?

      Exclusivity, both for boosting better access to internal reddit data and for harvesting that data into their AI models, presumably.

        Oh yeah, maybe it was a package deal and they only really cared about the training data.
