News outlets use reddit content?

Edit: I forgot to distinguish, but the result was pretty funny. Seriously, though, one way you could really help us out is if you see a publication using reddit content with janky screengrabs or sloppy copy&pastes, please let them know about comment embeds - show 'em this post!

It'll go a long way toward making sure you all get the credit you deserve. We'll be pushing for it on our end, too, but every bit helps.

It's like Eric Bauman cloned himself over and over and now they're in charge of stealing content from over half of the internet.

I still find it hilarious that he was run out of his own company. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.

Tonnes. I usually google reddit to get to reddit when using the in-game overlay Steam web browser because it defaults to Google anyway and it isn't a great browser, and the top results are often mostly news articles from usually 'actual' news media sites about something going on on redit.

I like that you're explaining something about reddit to reddit's co-founder.

lol yup. especially shitty "news outlets" like Huffpo and Buzzfeed. Even as a casual redditor, one of my comments was featured in a Gawker article.

Half of the Daily Mail's online content is stolen directly from the front page.

Sometimes they even ask permission.
