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.

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.
