My predictions after the IPO:
  • All 'edgy' content purged (obviously already happening)
  • Removing access to third-party apps like Apollo on iOS or Sync on Android so all ads can be controlled via the official app
  • Full Porn purge
  • Removal of spez
  • Decline into irrelevance
  • Site sells for $50 to digg
Reddit just doesn't have the hook for investors. "Wait, my company/content/actor, etc can be downvoted???"

I dunno about that. Le Elon Musk himself wouldn't be half of the man he is without the viral marketing shit peddled to boost stock prices on reddit.

We live in an age where there is now a whole industry of boutique reusable drinking straws because of some one-off PR campaign for some "charity" activist group scrounging for donations who said that the old normal ones kill whales with microplastics thrown directly into the ocean. Don't tell me that the viral marketing shit doesn't work and that the big investors don't see it. We all saw Kony 2012.

It isn't widely talked about but shit like recent events makes it pretty obvious that how social media site are administrated has a substantial influence on how topics are discussed online. They then shit into twitters mouth who shits into facebooks mouth etc. They then create internet phenomena that bleed into real life. Sadly.

I know you are trying to make a point about it losing it's appeal but this stuff operates on inertia. It is popular because that is where popular people hang out to discuss the popular thing. If there isn't an alternative then they are going to stay pat. This isn't the old wild-west internet. It is being domesticated and you are being given very few alternatives if you want to discuss things in certain ways.

1. Tear the side of the package open
2. Remove the condom from the packaging
3. Ensure that the reservoir tip is facing out
4. Throw that shit right in the trash because condoms are uncomfortable and weird

It's really weird how redditors think they're high IQ and nuanced for saying children should be able to engage in sex. In reality, most people would take you as a creep for saying something like that out loud.
Below is another example of reddit being creepy towards kids and demonizing a father because he doesn't want to buy his 12 year old a sex toy. There are some sane people in the comments but unfortunately that's over shadowed by the amount thinking OP is the asshole.

A pre-pubescent child who asks for sex toys is being groomed. Why the fuck do Redditors not realize this shit?

They know this because they're the ones rushing to normalize their actions so no one can openly give them shit for grooming and pushing sexuality on the vulnerable.

@Geese Howard That's extremely useful to know, but also very terrifying. This means that anyone with a lot of money can create thousands of bots with ease. :cryblood:

I don't have the album at hand immediately, but there's actually a lot of hard evidence of Reddit being filled with bots due to incidents where hundreds of bots accidentally spammed the wrong posts. Reddit is filled with them.

I believe the youtuber Reactor proved how easy it is to use bots on reddit years ago, and it looks like they haven't fixed a damn thing. He didn't even need to auto updoot that much. Once you get rolling on the front page with social proof the plebbitors will updoot you further.

I want to take a moment to rant about /r/52book which is a sub for a yearly book challenge where you try to read 52 books. However, 90% of what is posted is social justice crap, woke contemporary fiction, and shitty fantasy and YA, basically illustrating how Redditors are real-life NPCs. These people seem to have no interests outside of whatever the NYT tells them to read and what's on the shelves at Target. I am truly baffled how these people literally lack interest in any topic. I truly think it would be better to just not read at all than to read all shitlib books. Seeing people actually posting interesting, obscure books or books indicating they have a particular interest is relevatively rare.

It's like the Business Journal's list of rich peoples' favorite books. It's all Becoming, How to Be Anti-Racist, etc. All books that came out in the last few years about social justice. There is no way that those books are actually their favorite books. I refuse to believe that rich people don't like normal books .
