    It should be pretty simple: the user generated content are volunteered by the users for free on reddit, therefore the content should belong to the users.

    Same thing as with AI, if an AI model is trained with everyone’s data, then the AI model should be open and available to everyone.

      Free API: I’m not going to complain. Paid API: Guess i’ll use Lemmy

      There is added value in creating a web platform or an ML model too, but the value should be shared with the content makers.
