This is just ignorant;

Surprise your content is publicly available and used by a company for profit \o/

Srsly... your QA was used in GPT before this agreement already now SO profits from it which makes it in theory better because now SO (the platform you liked before this) is able to continue investing into it and making money / profit which motivates them to keep investing and inovating.

Why tf is this a bad thing?

Have you never heard of copyright or licenses? Or what is your point?

Yes of course. Did you ever read the service agreement with SO?

SO is not GitHub. GitHub has high motivation to protect your (c) for you, SO has not. Never has.

I don't understand this new point at all. Both SO and GitHub want people to keep putting their content in there, because it's the entire value proposition of their sites. Both SO and GitHub have specific licenses for content. Where do you see this difference?

GitHub already sells Copilot, trained on copyrighted user data. Where do you observe this "motivation"?
