I had a friend suggest that Google just buy Reddit. With their deep pockets they could just run it at a loss. And it can help the search and AI development. Not the worst idea. Can't see them running it any worse than the current administration.
Haha, just imagine the reactions of r/degoogle if that would happen.
Most of that sub is probably already in the processs of deredditing anyways.
The last thing we need is google spreading even further out and moving even closer to monopolising every market
Why would you buy a company to run it at a loss plus however many millions you paid for it?
Google has mastered aggregating data over decades, they don't need to own a website to get the data they want, Reddit much like any other website uses Google Analytics anyway.
