It's already begun - here's a nice site to keep track of it live. No idea why they're doing it now (I think it starts at 0:00 UST?). No coordination. Sit back and enjoy the seething: https://reddark.untone.uk/

Before everything's locked, a wild post on the 3rdPartyApps sub - random guy wants mods to delete ALL THE CONTENT. Which would be funny but also deeply stupid.

What makes it crazier is he could have banned the person for any conjured up reason (inauthentic behavior, platform manipulation, spam, etc.) like twitter used to do. Instead, he does the most obvious and stupid thing possible with the edit.

People who have stores, run events spend a part of their marketing spend on reddit, and reddit displays ads for them until the money dries up. Reddit's ads have low conversion rate, so they are cheaper compared to better adtech.

I hope I don't need to point out the economic opportunity we have here, the rope and chair business is about to explode. I can't imagine a lower conversion rate than the amount of redditor moderators who aren't going to kill themselves.

* Let r/the_donald run free for four years and shit up the site until it was no longer politically inconvenient to ban them

The_Donald lasted for so long because it was an absolute goldmine. They had a bunch of militarised conservatives on their liberal platform and as a result could promote all sorts of dime a dozen anti-woke products to them. Those coffee beans that taste like shit but have a gun on them? Now we have a platform to advertise them to instead of plastering the entire site with fairly safe trash like Huel. Donald users were more likely to not use adblock too so the adverts would actually get to them.

At one point, it was easily the largest active subreddit on the whole platform, and while a shitload of that was likely bot related activity, the sheer amount of user data from Republican leaning users, all confined to a single subreddit made it a very important part of reddit. No wonder they kept it alive on life support up until they kinda had to snuff it.

Mark my words, keeping The_Donald alive wasn't a mistake by the admins, it just felt like it because it was tonally separate from 90% of reddit.

Funny how people who scream that democracy is being destroyed any time they lose don't really have any interest in democracy on anything they actually control.

Just this week, China announced intentions to build a base in Cuba and a few days later the number one post is just coincidentally old cell-phone footage of a Le Epic B-2 Bomber flyover of a beach in Miami. Pay any attention for any amount of time and you'll see a half dozen posts that are clearly placed their artificially
 
Guys I think I just figured something out.
Reddit has this thing where if you interact with one subreddit (even as an argument/discussion), you can get banned from others, right?
If I post in subreddit A, and the a ban-bot sees that, I can be automatically banned from subreddits X, Y, and Z; so if I want to comment in subreddit A and subreddit X, I will need two separate accounts.
This means single humans can have multiple accounts, but from reddit's point of view that's "multiple users" and they can pitch that user count to advertisers as the true user count.

Reminder that you do not need an email to register to reddit either. They "fixed" it with the redesign at some point, but you can still register with no email on old.reddit
 
A theory occurred to me after Huffman's disastrous AMA. The dick-faced pedo did so badly with his pre-written responses and painful answers. He even admitted that Reddit "Isn't even close to profitable" at this stage.

THIS is supposed to attract investors and VCs?!

What asshole with money to burn, (other then idealogue cunts) would want to invest in a failing product that ITS OWN CEO ADMITS SUCKS!

Steve Huffman may be a pedo and an asshole, but he's not an idiot. I'm sure he knows how bad it looks. So what's his endgame?

My theory is that he wants to sell Reddit to some corporate raider who wants to jettison all the fat, sell off all the worthy independant property, make their money and leave the ashes.

Or he wants Chinese state-owned conglomerate Tencent to buy a bigger share, maybe a majority, do whatever they want to it, and Stevie-boy still profits.

Either way, I hope Reddit burns and Huffman and all the corrupt commie admins are raped to death by hippos with AIDS.
 
I have a reddit account because sometimes I like to upvote things and share a link or two if I know where one is. (I save my bullshit opinions on stuff for here, don't be jealous.) I don't join things. I use the search feature for specific interests.

Thing is, I went there today and one community I like to poke around in is closed in protest, it's now set to private and says that only approved members can view and discuss there.

Now if someone wanted to force accounts to have the places they visit officially listed as "joined" for whatever reason, a protest would be a good way to make idiots do that. To what end, I do not know. Perhaps to witness the shocked faces when reddit users realize they're on a list of people who like memes about ADHD or something?

Maybe I'm too paranoid lately but this feels weird.

Peddit is one of the few sites that could conceivably actually be improved by being bought by the chinks.

You have to be an approved user, not just join a sub if the sub goes private. Subs doing this generally aren't going to approve users. The mods will just take days off.

I'd laugh if Reddit deletes everything on these communities going dark as they do when something gets shadow banned, and then they pretend it wasn't them. They won't do it, but would be funny to watch the tranny jannies react.

I really hate leftist fags, the whole Internet caters to them already and they're bitching about some meaningless shithole like it's the end of the world to them. I'm using Tor to shit post, that's how little freedom others have online these days.

I'm loving it, these niggers really thought they could put pressure on the higher-ups with a hand completly devoid of bargaining chips, it baffles the mind! Can't wait for that IPO going through, this is just the beginning of Total Jannie Death.
