They are about 2 years too late.

The rise in interest rates and the end of easy VC money has swung the dial back to: Companies actually need to generate profit and not just show user growth to be attractive to investors.

The IPO will not go as spez dreamed for so long.

I am very comfortable with never owning a ubisoft game ever again.

Why would you ever visit the sub again?

How bad could it be?

Well, as long as it is well documented…I’m sure it will be fine. (as I am not that one that will have to maintain it)

To do that before the IPO is some next level shit.

Did you step up to mod any communities?

Did you create any new communities for the things you were interested in?

Also, what data are you going to train the AI on? Becasue if they use the old mods as training data…

And finally, most of the subs I visited had mods that I never had problems with. So maybe it is the subs you were visiting, or maybe, just maybe, you were the problem.

There’s absolutely no way AI could do a worse job than what’s already being done.

I see that naive techno-optimism is alive and well in this day and age.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Why do I get the feeling that Netflix would be raising prices this year even if the writers and actors strikes had never happened.

This stinks of the suits using the strike as something to blame the price rise on.

The fact we are complaining about it means…

Wonder how long AI will be a buzzword.

Until the next one comes along.

algorithmic content

That’s my point. I am not knocking the feature, just the marketing push now to call an algorithm feed AI.

I doubt there has been any actual change in the feed just the term.

It is buzzword bullshit.

I’m really getting tired of every new product announcement having AI tacked on in some way.

The problem is you (and many others, not singling you out here) believed you had rights on a privately controled web platform.

This has never been the case.

In the past reddit said and had “terms of service” that suited their business goals at the time. In the past, those goals were: Use VC money to grow the platform as large as possible as fast as possible.

Now that Reddit is looking to go public with an IPO, those goals have changed.

The goal is now. Generate as much revenue as possible from the user-base created with the VC money.

Now compare the inflation adjusted cost of a Model T to a Corolla.

Then compare the inflation adjusted cost of a Model T IBM series 1 PC to a Corolla modern PC.

etc.

etc

etc.

The long term problem they will face is these will need to be rebooted on a regular basis.

Unity executives: Quick, Close that barn door!

Nah, It goes back way further than that.

Slashdot had a similar system a decade before reddit existed.

It has had other names on other forums but it is essentially trying to quantify reputation.

You can upvote stuff here (and downvote on kbin) so you will still get a group that are obsessed with making the number go up.

Nothing.

I have already seen about a dozen accounts that were mass upvoting each other a few weeks ago.
