I hope they get a slew of new moderators who make every subreddit unbearable by deleting every good post and leaving only bullshit ones.

You want to give Reddit bad press? Stop posting links to Lemmy. Start posting links to fetish porn.

It isn’t meaningful. It’s just picking one fall guy for your ire, and not coincidentally it’s the only Reddit executive anyone knows. Just leave the site if you don’t like the direction the Board is taking the company. Otherwise you’re still driving their user engagement numbers.

Reddit isn’t looking for immediate ad revenue from Place users. Reddit is looking for the extreme engagement of Place to have great stats to show investors and advertisers.

If you’re going to protest, do it in a way that will upset Reddit’s ability to sell ads and stock. Put goatse on there. Drop hateful racism and misogyny. Link to The Flash torrents. Post hentai.

Reddit absolutely expected it. Wanted it, even. Reddit is going to show prospective investors its usage and engagement statistics for the duration of Place to demonstrate its continuing viability even after the API controversy.

Reddit is doing Place to demonstrate continued engagement despite protests. People should stay logged out. But if they’re going in, people should hit them where it hurts:

“Reddit ads support Child Porn”

“Short Reddit Stock”

“Reddit Fakes Views”

I reread the whole thing and I’m still not sure how heroin plays into any of it.

Yeah, this is actually called Pretend Ego Drop Online, or “PEDOing.”
