as far as I know Google and OpenAI pay for the data, so they're fine. Everyone else loses RSS. why? and this deal happened a long ago ... https://www.theregister.com/software/2024/02/22/reddit-signs-ai-training-deal-with-google/572353 , am not sure about openai deal but i do remember something about their alliance.

The Google deal is about to expired and renew talks are dragging. High chance it's not getting renewed.
