They should fire the current CEO and get "Beto" installed as his replacement, considering that the only qualification is prominent gums and a run of annual losses to your name. Serioulsy it would give "Beto" something to do and keep Jeb! away from the reigns of mass culture influence like he did so taste once with 'guaccabowle'

The steam sub is now about literal steam, and not because of the mods, the users just started shitposting steam content to protest it being reopened. And wellthatsucks is full of vacuum cleaner memes and you can only comment "Henry" or "Hoover".

I think it took the sub where they were posting  pics of dead kids and doxxing them, or tricking parents into seeing the pics, for Spez to step in and start regulating content./r/raisedbynarcissists literally changed my life, but hooooly poo poo Reddit is a trash site.

AmbientParadox posted:There is a very strong chance your local goon community has a secondary layer where all the activity actually happens. the goons in korea thread has been on life support for years, because most of the users created a kakao chatroom and use that for hundreds of daily messages. Likewise, the San Diego goons have a discord which is very active while the thread gets 1-2 posts a day. I heard Discord's gonna be hosed too soon, good news for SA!

feverish and oversexed posted:as someone who has been adding "reddit" to the end of all their searches, this is worrisome to me because I feel like its use is on the chopping block. less people detailed responses to answers I google, as those people migrate elsewhere and are replaced in the end by bots and all information is useless and I'm back to asking direct question anywhere else....  Yep great idea to use reddit as a source for information

This is a problem with how Google displays information and not Reddit. In the Reddit thread it cites, the only one that says Yes is downvoted and for some reason Google decided to display that as the top result despite 7 other top level comments saying not to. Likely related to them using AI to answer questions. Google has gotten loving awful lately.

I used to work in fraud for an airline and we had passengers get scammed out of thousands of dollars every day by googling us and trusting the first result, which was always a scam, and would’ve been obvious by actually looking at it. Imagine being that person

It does crack me up because I check the airline subreddit occasionally and there will be a post that’s like I CANT BELIEVE THE AIRLINE CHARGES $1000 IN GIFT CARDS TO TRAVEL WITH A PET THATS 10X MORE THAN MY TICKET COSTS and the comments will be absolutely eviscerating them

Reddit works best as a news aggregator. There's a subreddit for every special interest you can think of, and there's so many people that if something happens, someone will make a post about it. It's how I find out about Magic news (people will post a new card within seconds of it being previewed elsewhere), deals on board games or whatever I want to buy, etc. My daughter asked when her favorite show was coming back, and of course there was a subreddit with info and even a bit of teaser about what the season might be about. Don't ask why there's a subreddit for a kid's show, it's not like I'm letting her on Reddit.

Deleted all of my comments and posts and then deleted my account today. I doubt I'll miss it, by this point I was only really active in 2 career-specific subreddits and only occasionally checked in on my city's subreddit for local stuff, which I can do without an account anyway. The API stuff is gross, but trying to reactivate subreddits that were down in protest and kicking their owners out to replace them with admin appointed mods was beyond the last straw.
