Reddit forces personalized ads, starts X-like user payment program

Like it or not, Reddit wants to "improve ad performance."

I left a couple of months ago. Couldn’t be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

    We don’t know their actual engagement numbers, what I do know is: quality on non-default subs has pitfalled. That is subjective, but its common across other reddit users I know.

      I’ve also heavily felt the quality decline.

      I’ve kept using reddit because relay for reddit kept working without paying… until today.

      Fuck spez

      Both the quality has declined, and the tone seems consistently more negative. Like there’s an even bigger majority of angry teenagers running the site.
