If they were just talking about Reddit, I’d assume something dodgy was going on connected with the IPO. But Quora is supposedly back from the dead too… Am I missing something glaringly obvious here?

It isn’t like you can’t otherwise get the older data if you really want though, pretty sure it’s on torrents. The newer stuff is all they have to sell.
Google wants the data to be exclusively licensed, so they can pursue any competing LLMs and sue them to death - I mean, develop a ‘moat’
It’s not really about the actual data access
I don’t buy that, given
All the effort Reddit has put into locking down data access
Google itself was behind the lawsuit establishing fair use for scraped datasets, and it’s looking likely that will be upheld
Would be happy to hear it if there’s reasons I’m not aware of that this is the intention though
