I wonder how many users and how much traffic they lost in the process.

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Real or faked? Because they have tons of bots and paid traffic to make the site look busier than it actually is. Steve figured that out years ago because he's a sociopathic liar with access to venture capital and an IPO to defraud.

Damn, that meme is cursed. I feel like I need to wash my eyes with bleach now.

Why Garfield has boobs, and why he's on the back? So many questions...

[–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It’s due to spez having a smooth front, like a Ken doll.

Steve looks forward to the hell of interfacing with shareholders, which makes me giddy. Reddit is now a money machine and no longer a community. The enshitification is well underway.

Hi Aaron, Thankyou for leading me to find Cory Doctorow’s essay on enshittification. I think this should be taught in every higher learning institution in the world, immediately.

Oh from the day Reddit went live there have been fake accounts. That’s how Steve and Alexis made it look like people were using the site.

I've been following the graphs here, and it's sure seems to be declining. But I don't know how accurate it is.
