Was wondering how StockOverflow guy was doing these days and it turns out he sold the company for $2B in 2021. What's the saying? Time in the market vs timing the market. Good for him but imagine being one of the investors.
The stackoverflow investors (Prosus) have licensed their data to the AI companies for training. They are most likely doing fine.
What additional data is worth paying for that wasn't already freely given awaY? Right now you can download the entire corpus of Stack Exchange content for local review off of the Kiwix library. Because it's primarily text the dataset isn't even that large.

Seems like he managed both.
