Multiple LLMs scraping all of reddit is a far different deal than how the APIs were used in the past.

Small cost x moderate usage = moderate cost Small cost x overthetop usage = overthetop cost

What they should do is really hammer the LLMs.

They could just block them if they want. Can't be that hard.

I think this is more about the IPO and inflating figures.
