  • I don’t really get how people think Reddit
    is winning. Sure traffic is back to normal or even higher, but that really doesn’t matter. They want to go public and for that to work they have to be lucrative for advertisers.
    No one in their right mind wants to advertise like normal on current Reddit. Sure they still have users but now you advertisements are not targeted and you basically advertise on a shitpost site.

    From a money perspective this is a huge problem for Reddit because for a investor in the current market situation that is not rly something you want to invest in. Remember it is a forum that hasn’t made a profit in nearly 20 years and a relevant percentage (active posters) of the userbase is trolling right now.

    It currently looks like a lose lose situation (Reddit and the users don‘t get what they want).


  • Was ist daran kritisch? Solche Teile retten Leben und sind nur positiv zu betrachten. Es gibt so viele Fälle wo dir das den Arsch rettet und halt ein paar wo es falscher Alarm ist. Insgesamt ist es aber sehr positiv.

    Achterbahn lässt sich auch nur sehr schwer erkennen. Die muss in Sekundenbruchteilen entscheiden was abgeht und Achterbahnen setzen dich halt schon Kräften aus die nicht normal sind.

    Wenn dir irgendwo im Niemandsland (z.B. Wald) die Lichter ausgehen bist du froh wenn deine Uhr oder dein Handy automatisch Hilfe holt und du nicht darauf hoffen musst dass zufällig jemand rechtzeitig vorbeiläuft. Selbst in der Stadt kann im Notfall sehr wertvolle Zeit verloren gehen weil deine Mitmenschen halt nicht nach dir schauen sondern weitergehen.



  • The majority aren‘t bots. Most of them are legit no lifers to whom Reddit going down the drain would be a huge blow. I mean you work full time as a cashier for taco bell and you are not really happy with that situation. Some people go to school again, learn a skill… others spend all their time one Reddit stockpiling karma. Those are the people who really hate lemmy and anything that could remotely make Reddit worse, because they are heavily invested in the platform for the wrong reasons.


  • Well, I‘m not a mod but I‘m kinda sad they didn‘t know how to really hurt Reddit, or they didn‘t want to.
    They should just have said nothing an on the day of the blackout they should have let the p*** bots go wild on their subreddits. Not labeling them as NFSW. Some legit advertisement next to someone g***** h*** would have rly hurt Reddit short and long term.
    This on the other hand is nice for moral but you can just sit it out on Reddits side.
