The battle continues
Reddit didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. According to Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt, “We’ll no longer comment on hearsay, unsubstantiated claims, or baseless accusations from The Verge. We’ll be in touch as corrections are needed.” In the absence of corrections, then, you can assume Reddit believes none are necessary.
“Attacking our users didn’t work, so let’s attack the journalists reporting on us attacking our users!”
Wow, Reddit really has so many professional people working for them.
It makes me wonder if those layoffs last month were their entire PR department
Spez is inspired by the Elon playbook, so it checks out.
So Reddit are really embracing the Elon’s approach to PR, perhaps they have forgotten they haven’t had their IPO yet.
That’s a big brain move right there, that’s sure to work I bet.
What sane person would possibly invest in a company like this?
Ignoring how inept they’ve been throughout this whole ordeal, they don’t even have control over their own site! It’s pathetic
Based on how many people invested in GameStop, AMC, and Bed, Bath, And Beyond, there is clearly a large number of dumbass retail investors. Too bad that’s unlikely to be enough to make a good IPO.
Never have i seen a social media site die so fast due to one idiot and a side helping of corporate greed
Spez is a complete removed (this was already known) but what a clown Reddit’s spokesperson is. It’s a shitshow, top to bottom
Let it die, Let it die, let it shrivel up and die!
moved to bad ai memes. we arent your normal sub, the mods are the only content contributors, forcing us to open and keep going is even bigger BS.
The changes include no longer requiring users to do basic research and lowering the standard for what the subreddit counts as spam.
I bet this is to fight against mass edit tools. I actually used one to edit all the comments I ever wrote. Got flagged seconds after by the subreddit of Fear The Walking Dead, permabanning me for spam.
Personally I don’t care. At least now they don’t have my data anymore.
Attacking our mods 🎵 attacking our users 🎵 attacking the journalists who report the matter 🎵
History tells us that dictators attack journalists, so
Reddit after all?A large part of the value of Reddit is in the user base’s hands. This idea that social media sites monetize user-created content without giving back to the user base has been around for a while but with Reddit it’s more obvious because it is a topic-specific discussion site.
