Reddit just wrapped up its second earnings call as a public company and CEO Steve Huffman hinted at some significant changes that could be coming to the platform. 3
what a goddamn shithole. the dark thing about this is that they will continue to retain the critical mass of users and they know it. it's where the most users and content are. so many communities were completely erased during the mod strike and it didn't matter. they knew they would be completely fine. the future is an authoritarian world effectively governed by companies like this.
Fixing reddit search? Just insert a 2021 google search bar on old.reddit. I just saved you millions you dingus. Thank goodness Aaron Swartz doesn't have to see what happened to his joint venture.
Well, glad I jumped ship after the api fee fiasco. I never even used the mobile app, but the tone deaf/elonification, I was done. That's right he got the great idea from Musk. How's that IPO working out?
Some players in the ecosystem have not been transparent with their use of Reddit’s content, and in those instances, we block access to protect Reddit content and user privacy.
Aka "Fuck you, pay me", at least Reddit is transparent that data is for sale and they think they own it.
Twitter made a great job with the paid blue check. It's so much easier now to detect an idiot just by looking if they have a paid blue check.
In Reddit it will be the same. If someone joins a paid sub, you can already say they are an idiot.
Fuck reddit, I got banned from Worldnews for asking when Ukraine would attack other targets. I was banned for "call for violence" it was a post about the war. So stupid
Reddit has become unusable. I had an account there for 7 years and no problem. I tried checking out Reddit again this year and I got permanently banned within a day. You can't say anything there anymore cause you'll inevitably piss off a power hungry mod who will ban you for nothing. There's no longer discussion to be had there.
I made a comment on the Gladiator 2 trailer, asking why Danzel is playing Micrinus, who was North African but of Roman blood and born in Alegeria and raised in Africa as a provincial. And pointed out how it's similar to that Cleopatra documentary inaccurately thinking that all people in Africa, even Egypt and North Africa were black. I pointed out Micrinus was Berber which were originally a more white race who mixed with Arab blood, so they were like a slightly darker skinned Romans, but not black.
Last time I've been using search on Reddit (ages ago) normal search already produced shitty, useless results. And now he wants to make it even worse by throwing in AI?
