“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”

    I am a bit slow but what does this even mean? Looks like corporate speak cranked up to 11.

      these updates will improve multiple metrics for ad-buyers by selling new, even more structured and valuable data. We’ll do it by tapping into our value as an information monopsony

      And have we mentioned that not only would getting deindexed on our platform hurt your sales, we have “other” offers we can’t admit to out in the open

      It’s like they read the enshittification essay and thought “wow! There’s some great ideas here”

      Hardly! My old boss wrote to the group that we should “effort to action these asks on the spends” and I realized he was one of them now.

      But ‘uplevel’ is wonderfully stupid and you do have a solid argument.
