If it wasn’t for the AI nonsense, this could’ve actually been a great idea.
Businesses might want to use Reddit comments as ads.
Reddit says “Hey, let us find those glowing reviews that we have as Reddit comments, and you can link directly to the original source!”
Then the original comment writer could edit their comments to call political figures pedos, and businesses learn their lesson that this kind of stuff is not suited for using Reddit as a primary source, lol
I enjoyed this ride.
Digitec/Galaxus (local online shop) does this right with user votes.
And statistics.
Quotes from the original announcement:
Today, Reddit is the most human place on the internet, and one of the last places on the internet where brands can build authentic, trusted and engaged relationships with customers.
Bwahaha, “most human”? Really? Wow.
A scalable, AI-powered social listening tool designed to unlock strategic value
Barf. Oh boy, “social listening tool” - that’s a new one…
These are tools for a new era of community marketing, one where brands can tap into Reddit’s authenticity
Yup, because nothing says “authenticity” like artificially realigned messages interspersed with AI slop ads. Such real, much authentic, wow…
Today, Reddit is the most human place on the internet, and one of the last places on the internet where brands can build authentic, trusted and engaged relationships with customers.
That reads like something out of their totalnotrobots subreddit. I TOO LOVE EXPRESSIVE AND AUTHENTIC HUMAN THOUGHTS.
Hahaha, great point :) HELLO FELLOW HUMAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUILD AN AUTHENTIC, TRUSTED AND ENGAGED RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THAT IS TOTALLY NOT A ROBOT? :D
By “Most Human” clearly they mean the most flawed and greedy.
Because Reddit is a nazi sympathizing, brown shirt wearing shithole for jack booted thugs and fascists. It all started when some cunt at Reddit thought “what if my user base was a product?”, and thus the en-digg-ification of Reddit was complete.
Fuck that fascist friendly corpo shithole, it belongs in the dumpster next to Digg.
Reddit feels like walking into a creepy anamatronic exibit alone at night. You keep looking for someone to ask where the exit is, and occasionally you bump into another warm blooded creature that is sometimes human, but you slowly start to realise that most of those shadowy figures aren’t alive. You’re trapped there until you start listening for the real music softly calling below the ambient noise of the exhibit in the distance.
Five nights at Reddit
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Seems like being banned from Reddit was a blessing.
Here’s hoping they push more people to Lemmy.
Mmmmmm I love not being on Reddit
Reddit already had ads that appeared in subs that looked like posts with some tiny text saying it’s an ad. This’ll make it even more insufferable. screw Spez
One more reason to be glad I ditched that hellpit.
Joke’s on them. I just post and comment negative rants.
I post positive ways to avoid consumerism.

I’m perfectly able to be negative about them and their competition at the same time.

Bastards… I spend a lot of time carefully crafting them :-P
Wew, my raging negativity will keep them from buying my data then.
For $19.95 this is a great comment!
How better to celebrate the 2-year anniversary of Rexit?
The APIcalypse.
May the api access rest in peace

Fuck spez.
Spez is a greedy little pig boy.
Spez is a lizard robot. I mean, just look at it. It’s a fucking weird creep
Connecting ads masquerading as posts to bot posts shilling the same crap, got it
“When I’m cutting people off in traffic, illegally parking in handicap spaces, and racing at 100 mph through school zones, I rely on my Dodge Ram pickup to get it done!”
I mean this isn’t far from the current state of things. I subscribe to /r/fuckcars an anti-car sub and regularly see car ads. These advertisers are wasting their money.
All of this spying and data hoarding has resulted in a finely tuned advertising machine that directs car ads to people who specifically hate cars with a burning passion. Peak of targeted advertising.👌
And people still wonder why I use every means within my disposal to block ads. Even if I allowed ads, they aren’t targeted enough to be much more than an annoyance. Even when they somehow manage to show me something I care about, I’m seeing an interesting product from the highest paying company. It’s not the best product in that category, nor is the one that would serve me best. It’s the one from the company that was willing to pay more than any other. Advertising is just so broken in every way you can think of.
When I plowed through that kindergarten I didn’t get as much as a single dent. If that isn’t an endorsement, then I don’t know what is.
