I had a friend suggest that Google just buy Reddit. With their deep pockets they could just run it at a loss. And it can help the search and AI development. Not the worst idea. Can’t see them running it any worse than the current administration.
Lol, it must be bad when I’m genuinely the thinking this isn’t a bad idea. Google, yeah that company. It wouldn’t cost that much to run anyway and would probably be helpful to them as you say.
Why would you buy a company to run it at a loss plus however many millions you paid for it?
Google has mastered aggregating data over decades, they don’t need to own a website to get the data they want, Reddit much like any other website uses Google Analytics anyway.

Haha, just imagine the reactions of r/degoogle if that would happen.
Most of that sub is probably already in the processs of deredditing anyways.

They technically did that with YouTube, but you’re probably right. They are in a much different position as a company.
well well well with how thinks at YT are going i wouldn’t be to hopeful.
The last thing we need is google spreading even further out and moving even closer to monopolising every market
