I could give a well thought out comment about AI, scraping the web, giving your end users a worse experience in order to copyright their content for your own benefit, or any number of subjects.
However, all I can muster is this:

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I swear I read they're doing it with Lemmy too
Since multiple Lemmy instances show the same, federated, content, I wonder if our posts will have more weight in the model, for a normal scraper it would be as if many people repeated the same thing over and over on different sites.
It would be trivial to remove duplicates. With a little bit of foresight they could just as easily avoid the duplicates in the first place.
They could also avoid to re-crawl the whole internet every day, but here we are, so who knows.
Everything that's freely accessible on the internet has been scraped 400 times over.
I'd imagine they'd be doing it for the whole fediverse. I mean from their perspective, why not? The whole open nature, in my limited understanding, seems to make that easier.
they crawl the entire internet, lemmy is definitely included
lol it’s not Reddit’s content to paywall in the first place.
“Bulletin Board sues passersby who took a picture without giving money first”
I still read but won’t post there.
Fuck you spez and the horse you rode on.
Especially AI-assisted political profiling.
Only google can suck our butts! 🦜 🍑 🤠
Is there a way they can both lose? I would really love for both of them to lose.
