That RIF is fun had a revenue sharing agreement explains why they were able to keep Reddit in front the apps name when other 3rd party apps couldn’t. Corporate Reddit sounds like a nightmare to work with.
One of the mods posted here that they were forcibly removed by admin
This one said it was open for people to hop on, figured I’d help lighten the load for the bigger servers since they were expecting heavy traffic once the blackout got started
¯_(ツ)_/¯ I didn’t name the server. Nothing wrong with a latte
In hindsight it’s crazy how many adults had to fail us to get there but I’m glad the boys team helped us call bullshit
I am not sad. It started to feel a bit like a bad addiction. The huge increase in casual users also brought a whole bunch of corporate accounts running heavy PR activity on reddit, and quality of discussion has tanked, probably from a lot of bots commenting.
I stayed on Reddit a lot for support forums that were prone to brigading attacks. I know how hard the mods were working to keep the spaces constructive. Reddit is not only trying to sell my attention as a commodity they own, but also under appreciating the mods volunteer hours for why the site was worth it.
I remember reading an article saying the creativity that comes only after you experience profound boredom is what we’ve lost. We have so many options so easily available, the next dopamine hit is only ever minutes away a lot of people never need to make it past superficial boredom
