Reddit Pushes for Dynamic AI Pricing in Talks with Google
Reddit is renegotiating data deals with Google (and eyeing OpenAI), pushing for bigger payments and dynamic pricing tied to how useful its posts are for AI answers. It wants Google to help steer users back to Reddit rather than lose traffic to AI-generated summaries. Reddit argues its human-curated, well-sorted posts are uniquely valuable for training models. The talks spotlight the tension where platforms supply data that fuels AI while losing the audience that made that data valuable.
