News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

We should all club together and get some ads for the fediverse on there.

They really thought that meme was appropriate.

But here it is, being posted, so maybe it worked?

Watching all this happen in realtime is surreal...

[–] azwethinkweizm@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Pretty wild, isn't it? This is what it felt like when Digg v4 came out.

I guess there's a limit to how many ads the He Gets Us people will buy.

This is embarrassing.

What a weak revenue stream. Imagine being a business, investing in a subreddit, only for the subreddit to be inundated by bots.

Reddit is going the way of Twitter and it's astounding to watch.

Why advertise on reddit?

Yes.

And they wonder why they don't have any advertiser support...

[–] dan@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

It’s fairly reasonable to assume advertisers are leaving. This isn’t one of those controversies that has two sides, it’s just Reddit being shitty because they want to make more money, and mods, users and disabled people on the other side being annoyed with Reddit.

There’s very little for advertisers to lose by redirecting their ad budget elsewhere, but if they stick around there’s a risk that annoyance spills over to them.

It also doesn’t take much for marketing teams to make a change - they do it all the time to stay on the right side of controversies and avoid things they don’t want to be associated with.

Even in their ads for ads they have to get their content from their user base

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (5 children)

If you go to the URL in the ad and click on "get started," you will see something interesting:

An 800 number.

God they can't even make the joke right.

[–] pm_me_ur_tourbillon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

An inclusive or joke without the or is amazing. They clearly do not understand their users at all if they can't even get one of the most basic recurring jokes right.
