What is it supposed to mean?

It means “Yes, that is the correct question to ask. Really think it through because we don’t have an answer for you.”
They really thought that meme was appropriate.
But here it is, being posted, so maybe it worked?
Sure more people know about it. Does it make people do what they want? That’s another question.
Get out, get out!
🤢
Desperate much
Watching all this happen in realtime is surreal…
It’s digg all over again with a dash of tumblr.
Pretty wild, isn’t it? This is what it felt like when Digg v4 came out.
I keep seeing this ad on Facebook. I don’t even buy ads. They must be desperate.
Lol would love to see Lemmy ads on Reddit
We should crowdfund some Lemmy ads
To post on reddit? Wouldn’t that give reddit money? No thanks!
Also I’m note sure we want to grab more randoms on here 😁 I like the smaller intimate vibe.
Maybe an ad instance that has to pay to federate with other instances?
NGL the random Sync for Lemmy that landed on my front page might as well have been an ad for Lemmy. I don’t even use Sync but it led me here.
Ah nice it’s already happening then, welcome aboard!
You shouldn’t want to be seeing it. Turn your adblock on and don’t give them revenue.
God this sucks…
u/Spez is following Elon’s playbook and it might start the downfall of Reddit
CEOs of big social media companies are not that different after all, they all become the same.
Tom from myspace did it right. Got a few hundred million and now just travels the world with his friends taking pictures.
What? I had Tom in my #1 spot the whole time (didn’t want drama over who was #1), and he never once asked me to go on vacation.
Bit sad innit. I’ll have to start archiving all the useful stuff I’ve found on reddit.
I hope they archive the whole site. There’s allot of info there.
Honestly sort of hope so, and I hope it’s swift. I really really wish for Spez to suffer as he has to explain to the shareholders how he has fumbled away all their invested money.
Swift? Nah, let it become the next iFunny.
Even the sense of humour is the same “how do you do, fellow kids” kind.
The downfall has already begun. The post quality has decreased severely over the last couple of weeks.
Hell for the past couple years the site has had a significant drop in quality.
Absolutely. It’s 90% ragebait garbage these days.
I barely remember Digg ITSELF, but this still reminds me of how it FELT when Digg imploded and evacuated to Reddit.
Y’all need to stop retelling the Digg fable to each other lmao. It happened 15 years ago in a totally different landscape and there were maybe 2M users on Digg most of whom were power users. You think the normies from /r/pics or /r/AITA are gonna evacuate from reddit ?
I noticed this too, all of a sudden the subreddits that went dark or were relatively inactive all had like some sort of low tier post on the 31st or the 1st, I’m not sure which day TBH. I figured those were posts from scab mods that took over to see what activity of the subs were.
Users leaving is one thing but making moderation harder? Yea I don’t think that’s going to work out
Even in their ads for ads they have to get their content from their user base
Having tried to use Reddit advertising for business (a national company), it really wasn’t very good. They had very poor targeting and algorithms.
I have a family member that runs their company digital advertising strategy. Said the same thing… and that it was hard to track conversions. They ended up pulling their ads.
I work in the digital advertising industry…reddit is pushing hard to grow it’s advertising business and are being helped by major players in the industry.
I’ve been tracking it for a while, because I know it was foreshadowing the decline of reddit as I knew it
Plus they have this unique position of being able to serve niche ads right in the place where that niche happens. You don’t really need to be a genius to make that work, even if you have shit algorithms, the targetting is done for free by just selecting the right subreddits. It is one of the rare places where actually useful advertising could happen, that’s a market that’s currently being served by nobody.
Yup. That was our experience too! My boss and I were both Redditors and we thought it would be cool.
Narrator: It wasn’t.
Reddit has attempted, multiple times, to reach out to Andrew Tate to partner with him on advertisements, including twice while he was imprisoned.
I know this because their numbskull marketing folks can’t proofread the email address they’re sending outreach to, and I received the outreach emails as a result. Thanks, Reddit!
You need to leak those emails, screw Reddit and u/spez.
Oof. That’s disgusting. Another reason to feel good moving here
Can you post them? Name and shame.
Given how they screwed up new.reddit and can’t make a decent app, this doesn’t surprise me.
I took a pitch from a Reddit ad sales rep in May, and he admitted to not really using the site.
This is embarrassing.
What a weak revenue stream. Imagine being a business, investing in a subreddit, only for the subreddit to be inundated by bots.
Reddit is going the way of Twitter and it’s astounding to watch.
Reddit post reading limit, when?
When the surviving 3rd party app users hit their limit for API calls you will absolutely get this message and probably an option to upgrade for $$$ too.
The Narhwal dev said this is how he’s approaching it. You get so many calls with a subscription and then have to top off with more if you hit it. So Prepaid mobile plans are coming to your favorite 3rd party apps for a website that’s free! People are desperate to give Reddit money even after all this.
Holy ducking shit! So you’re not just paying a sub to use Reddit, you’re paying rate limit charges as well?
Lol so spez found a (short term) way to get mods to not just work for free, but to pay him for the privilege of becoming his slaves! Truly genius.
I saw that on my few last days on Reddit. I was wondering about their rates b/c I was wondering what it would cost to take out an ad calling spez a complete twat.
Please do it 🤣
I hope my username irks him continuously
Somebody on here snagged the username “spez” and that brings me great joy as well
