    To say nothing of content theft. The number of websites that just take the StackOverflow data exports and put them all on a shallow clone of the site in hopes of gaming Google is utterly ridiculous. I guess OpenAI has killed that now, in the worst possible way.

      Lol. I mean, yeah, lol. Stack Overflow was always pretentious and a massive pain to actually use yourself. Now they’re throwing a tantrum and disabling archiving exports? Zero pity. I bet the archive is effectively zero maintenance and costs them nothing to run.

      EDIT: It gets worse the more I read. “Profit off the work of the community”, what, you’re the ones doing that. The “community” wants their answers out in the world, they just want to help people, SO is the one using it to make money. This is enraging.

      EDIT2: The very final comment is a link to a duplicate. Very SO.
