It’s going back to the roots, just in an extremely twisted way - I’m old enough to remember when Reddit was just a link aggregator. You put your stuff on your own site/blog/forum (remember those?), and linked to that from reddit.
People could then upvote and comment on it on reddit, but the idea of posting something there directly was ridiculous - how could anything be found later when it would get buried under the new stuff in a few hours, and bumping isn’t a thing at all?
Fuck reddit and social media, I want my forums back :(
Also my back hurts, music these days is terrible, and the 90s’ were just a decade ago or so.
I would assume the small amount of training data written that way doesn’t contain that many professional research papers, corporate emails or calm poetry, but would consist mostly of social media posts and comments which have a rather heavy bias towards aggressive and negative.
