Riiight, everyone should protest in a way that doesn’t inconvenience them or their advertisers, I bet they’d find that acceptable… I know, how about a mass protest by buying protest- themed NFT avatars? That would be acceptable, wouldn’t it? /s
Making up new rules everytime there’s a new protest won’t work
People will just come up with new inventive ways to fuck reddit over, and everytime reddit makes a new rule up, they’ll be articles like this giving the protest free press and making reddit look like jackasses
This means it’s working. It would be useless if the admins didn’t get upset.
“You’re hurting our ad revenue. Stop that at once. It’s unacceptable!”
Are most people on reddit even familiar with what is going on, or even care that the ceo is basically calling them milk cows that will get slaughtered if they stop producing milk?
I think they don’t know what’s going on or don’t care. I don’t either. Reddit started to suck long before this api crisis.
Being a massive liar and dickwad is unacceptable, the communities are just giving what spez had coming.
You can’t protest within the rules of the authority you are protesting against and expect any results.
Non disruptive protests aren’t protests. They’re glorified circle jerks.
Does this corporation have a board? What the fuck are they doing exactly? I mean it’s private, so it’s probably just a bunch of buddies, but there’s been a ton of seed funding at Reddit, no? Like wouldn’t these venture capitalists care? Clearly not, but this is definitely getting comical. What a fucking disaster. This is going to be textbook business class case material for years to come.
They sold to Conde Nast, a giant media conglomerate.
Conde transferred ownership one level up the food chain. So the people in charge aren’t used to any kind of media, let alone social media.
Wild - Conde Nast also absolutely tanked the Bon Appetit YT channel. I had no idea they had purchased Reddit
Conde Nast didn’t exactly handle the Bon Appetite YouTube channel fiasco very well.
But then again that channel is still going. Less productive than all the people that left and made their own content though.
I’m over reddit. Let’s move on guys.
