At this point in time it's a data land grab, volume is more valuable than quality — so we would be very low value.
Additionally companies like Google, Microsoft, OpenAI — none of them want tens of thousands of contracts with content suppliers. They can barely cope with a few tens of contracts with entities like Reddit, Conde Nast, etc. We are too small to be a consideration.
If they pivot to quality.
If they want some niche bicycle conversations.
If they want colloquial UK English.
If they cannot find those things through other sites that remain open and care less about the trade-offs.Then perhaps we'd be in a good position. But that's a lot of unlikely ifs.
I joke but if you look at what Reddit might be charging and whilst lufguss clearly isn’t in that league, the corpus of data here would be quite->really valuable. Could you agree exclusivity with one of those companies for $x per year?
