“We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation”

Didn't they ban the first r/ineeedit because of exactly this?

What is the seven hells is a "2H activation"?

I can't tell if marketing jargon means something or if they've had to invent a whole new language to avoid noticing that almost everything they do is bad for the people they do it to.

Well now I'm glad I deleted my entire history as well as my account. FUCK THAT. I haven't been on FB, Twitter or any of that other data grubbing bullshit in years.

I might need to address a GDPR delete request.

So paid manipulation of the sub that was designed to inform users of genuinely good quality products, this probably will be the case for every major subreddit about any consumer product.

Reddit is about to go significantly downhill.

Jesus Christ Reddit just announce an sdk or that you're working on a way to get ads in third party apps. That would solve everything.

I would not use a third party app with ads, tho. Ads are a curse to the internet

What in the everloving fuck??

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Welp, time to delete my Reddit account, I guess. I thought there was a (small) chance Reddit would come to their senses vis a vis the API, but with this shit, even if they do, who cares?

Thanks, Reddit. It was fun while it lasted.
