Nothing.

However, while I'll be putting that comment to my favorite screenshots folder, and letting it adorn my cubicle for some time, there's also an implicit meaning. With that wording, the subscript is "That's brave". [0]
It's not meant to be an insult, but to signify a greatly different point of view compared to OP (me, in this case).
While the tone may came across as angry, slightly agitated is a more correct measurement of my feelings.
In either way, it's fair game and no hard feelings. Also, the answer from the original commenter is good sport. Thanks mate!
I see. I didn’t take it quite so literally on first read. It initially read (and still does if I want it to, I guess) like people being upset about reddit using their posts for AI training, which I’ve never understood. The second sentence in particular.
> ...people being upset about reddit using their posts for AI training,...
I'm one of these people, and I'm not visiting or contributing to Reddit anymore. My logic is simple: "Ask me first". I may say yes, I may say no, but ask me first.
I'm bullish about ethics and transparency. I work on FAIR Data at work, as a side quest. Transparency, consent and licenses are a big part of it. Honoring it is important at every level. Both ethically, and both for integrity reasons.
As a result, when someone does something behind me, and if they didn't ask me first, I leave when I find out. I was this close to abandoning Go when they first declared that the telemetry will be opt-out. Now it's opt-in, and so I still use Go.
It's not that I don't send usage data, either. Some applications and parties I trust get telemetry from me, but all of them were opt-in and asked me first.
In short, a bit of decency and agency goes a long way in my eyes.
No.
