    I can’t wait to see their IPO fail dismally, at least I hope so.

      I don’t think it will. They will go with the “single greatest resource for AI data” angle and make bank. They aren’t ignoring this backlash just to kill some apps.

        Yeah, which is precisely why it’s important to ruin the product with random spam, racism, overly sexual comments, lorem ipsum and for good measure some fetish porn and gore images.

        Wasn’t Microsoft training an AI from Twitter and it basically turned into the aforementioned garbage?

        I doubt that companies would enjoy to train their models on a foul dataset filled with nonsense, hatred, porn and gore.

          I guess this could be a way to finally create that genocidal AI everybody keeps promising us is definately coming.

      I sure wouldn’t invest in reddit, knowing how incompetent they are. Perhaps if they could actually make a decent app or website.

        People mastered video playback in a web browser 20 years ago.

        Reddit has yet to do so.

        Their goal is the sellout.

      I don’t think they are going to do an IPO. I think China invested a lot into them and threatened to pull funding if they didn’t kill 3rd party apps.

        Dopamine-addled zoomers when something takes more than 5 seconds to happen:

        it’ll never happen!

          People on the Internet who refuse to consider outcomes they don’t want to be true:

          He’s a Zoomer! He’s dumb!

          Just for the record:

          1. I’m a Millenial

          2. If Reddit’s IPO fails, great! You won’t see me complaining.

          I don’t see it failing, but if it does, I’ll happily be wrong.

        They’re shooting themselves in the face, but the gun won’t go off until Friday. They’re kicking out everyone who is addicted to the site enough to install a third party app for it. I really hope that RIF and Apollo redirect people to Lemmy after this weekend.

          Oh man, the real Armageddon’s gonna start when the 3PAs die. No more Reddit for me afterwards.

          Christian announcing Reddit for Lemmy/Kbin would be icing on the cake, but I just don’t see that happening.

              I’ve used it, and it’s certainly not bad. It’s missing some of the basics that made Apollo great though, like the rich text editor.

          Hey, I hope it dies too. Reddit sucks.

          It really could go either way at this point though.

        AOL and Yahoo still exists and their CEO didn’t make a sobbing tiktok video inside their car, which means they won!

          sobbing tiktok video inside their car

          So… what is this about exactly?

        Downvoted only for your shitty use of the term “gay”. Everything else I agree with.
