Reddit Sells User Data to AI company for $60 Million to Boost IPO Value #artificialintelligence

Reddit is going to start to sell their user data. We've just had news that Reddit has signed a deal with an unnamed AI company to use their user data. Reddit's in the process of going public with an IPO upcoming and they're going to try and add to their value with this new AI data deal. Apparently the deal is going to be worth around US$60 million per year. Why is this important? Increasingly, a lot of AIs that are using public data, such as that scraped from Google, are creating very generic results. And more and more the AI models are producing very similar results. Because of this, the value of private sources of data is increasing. If an AI company has a private source of data, they're going to have a unique value proposition for their AI. This is why companies like Google and OpenAI are trying to pen deals with large news organizations. However, in the case of Reddit, this means that a lot of user data is going to be used to train AI model. Redditors are already up in arms. What are your thoughts on this? Would you be happy with all your comments and posts being used?
