If they were just talking about Reddit, I’d assume something dodgy was going on connected with the IPO. But Quora is supposedly back from the dead too… Am I missing something glaringly obvious here?

    I don’t buy that, given

    1. All the effort Reddit has put into locking down data access

    2. Google itself was behind the lawsuit establishing fair use for scraped datasets, and it’s looking likely that will be upheld

    Would be happy to hear it if there’s reasons I’m not aware of that this is the intention though
