“We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation”

From the article ... ".These rich conversations are a valuable place for advertisers to find highly engaged, potential customers, and for brands to become part of the most contextually relevant conversations happening online."

Reddit is gonna squeeze everything you've ever posted to that site because you are a "highly engaged potential customer"....

I don't know about y'all but a big reason why I'm here is that I am so tired of being a commodity.
