They login gated and banned the ability to criticize reddit on r/mildlyinfuriating. Reddit cucks
Line is definitely not going up.
The stock market is downvoting the fuck outta RDDT.
They’re in the final 5 years of their business model.
I can’t wait for the acquisition by private equity phase
FB will probably buy them.
I browse reddit without logging in and with an adblocker. From their perspective, I’m a parasite using resources but contributing nothing; I’m proud of that.
This is how the web was meant to be!
And I am proud of you for that! Here here!
All of their business decisions for the past few years have been centered around monetizing Reddit content as training data for machine learning models. Most likely this recent decision is an attempt to block data scraping.
Everything posted in the last few years should be considered poison anyway, so I don’t know why anyone would pay for it to use as training data.
Why anyone would train an AI on Reddit is beyond me, the only worse platform I can think of is 4chan.
Because they’re assholes. They don’t care about making a good product. They care about making money. Even though they already have a lot of money, they need more. No matter the cost.
I don’t really understand why new reddit would generate more revenue than old reddit. This is kinda a baffling change all around.
Simple, reddit just want lemmy to succeed, so they gave us another shot!
