Sure, when the chips fall, eating a computer rig won’t stave off starvation for even a minute.
Hey, it looks like you’re not giving us all your personal data. That’s a mighty fine account ya got there. Be a shame if something were to … happen to it. About that personal data now…
(It’s worth noting that although there were understandable concerns about the Contributor Program leading to karma farming or other spam and fraud issues, we haven’t seen an increase in this behavior since the rollout six months ago.)
reddit:
Yes, turns out that insulting your customers when they complain because you took away all the good stuff in order to incentivise spending money via your very bad alternatives will piss off even the last few masochistic users still remaining on reddit, so you have to eat some crow and try to somehow monetize the last thing you took away instead.
A little bit of friendly advice a very wise person gave once:
Truthfully I think getting triggered by a stupid label on a pill bottle is kind of unnecessary. Just rip it off or write over it. Not a big deal. 100% of the people buying them are people so they put people on the label or something…big deal. Its just a vitamin for pregnant people! Its the same thing no matter what color the bottle or what gendered nonsense is written on it. Smh.
It must suck going around choosing to be triggered by something like that. It shouldn’t be that difficult to just be secure in your own indentity and stop letting the way the world works get under your skin. So maybe instead of finding even more cumbersome paraphrases like “pregnant individuals” just to be contrarian when “people” is just as accurate and shorter, be secure in your identity. Don’t let the way the world works get under your skin.
Games, social media sites, online shops, they are all working on building the psychologically optimised perfect maze for their prey.
They have all their bots creating first-class content. They don’t even need mods anymore. They don’t need humans anymore. They are basically a self-sufficient bot word factory and AI breeding ground. Like, if I ever felt the urge to rate babes with my masterful babe-rating skills or use my excellent human-judging skills to discern whether the repost-bot is the asshole in that regurgitated story, I’d go there in a heartbeat.
The expanded universe never was canon though. At least not movie-level canon. That means it’s still just as much canon as it used to be. If you haven’t, give Andor a try. That show is genius.
Next question is whether they actually care or are just happy that the bots can now produce clicks without all that pesky moderation and interaction with actual humans.
There’s a subtle difference between somebody (as in, an actual human poster) posting a meme and an army of accounts named John13452958 or the like posting basically the same question with a different meme in each post a thousand times nonstop.
Of course. I love providing Reddit with clicks and engagement, especially when I can consume advertisements while being there - oh wait, April Fools is over already. Then screw spez’s little dystopia.
“Hmmm. Yesss. Counterpoint: Shut up and give us more data to sell.”
“That’s a nice account you got there. Be a shame if someone were to lock it unless you give us some personal data.”
This post entertains me almost as much as Raid: Shadow Legends, which I play all the time on my… um, consoles? PC? Mobile? Gaming device! I always play it on my gaming device which I definitely use to play Raid: Shadow Legends without interruptions. All day.
Honestly, if one of reddit’s competitors tasked him with running reddit into the ground as effectively as possible, he’d be just about worth that figure by now.
Great interaction, fellow human! Here’s a link to my onlyfans!
That’s partly because a much higher share of people here are actually people and not just various shades of bots.
Reddit doing something extremely scummy? Never!
Oh no. Have they tried insulting their mods, taking away their perfectly fine moderation tools, replacing them with objectively worse advertisement-delivery-first apps and taunting everybody who disagrees with that decision before forcibly suppressing any protests and banning dissenting voices? Maybe that’ll help making the sub attractive for content creators.
