I’m actually curious if there will be a spike on Wednesday and after with people logging in to look at the “aftermath”. Remember: Negative engagement is still engagement!
Exactly... traffic is traffic and clicks are clicks, it's all the same to an algorithm that determines the # of eyes an ad gets.
Right. Speaking of, is there a way to delete reddit accounts without going on reddit?
I think the best option is the Power Delete Suite if you're wanting to nuke the account and all posts without touching reddit.
Thanks!
