They're not winning over the blind again after they limited access to screen-reader-accessible apps.
On the flip side, training ai for image recognition has the potential for auto labelling images for the blind
Could be either the website owners themselves generate them if a human written one isn't provided, or a browser extension that auto labels any unlabelled images on the screen
They're probably going to make a deal with Google to improve Google Lens. Yes, it will eventually help the blind but Reddit's shareholders will be getting even richer from people's donated time.
Anybody can use the data as long as it's public facing. It's not because websites like reddit and getty stomp their feet and want us to pay that we have to.

Reddit is already in every llm model. Until the courts say otherwise clearly (and I highly doubt they will), it's fair game as it should be.
