But Huffman said Reddit was now battling to ensure its users stay at the center of the social network. “Where the rest of the internet seems to be powered by or written by or summarized by AI, Reddit is distinctly human,” he said. “It’s the place you go when you want to hear from people, their lived experiences, their perspectives, their recommendations.

As Reddit becomes an increasingly important source for LLMs, advertisers are responding with what one agency chief described as a “massive migration” to the platform.

For me it was a few hours ago. My first profile got banned for “inciting violence” cause I said “fuck trump and Obama”. And just got my other account banned for inciting violence but they deleted the comment so I can’t tell you what exactly I said, but it’s not in my nature to actually advocate for violence.

Plus I don’t want to help them pad their numbers, or be at the wim of some ai system that doesn’t even read the comment and just auto bans.
