Probs so spez can bury the fact that he gave a bunch of fucking pedo mods from the jaibait subreddit custom awards
I've got 14600 coins to spend. What should I do with them? Don't want to benefit Reddit...
There are some great comments on that thread absolutely ripping the piss out of Reddit. I almost wish I hadn't deleted my account, just so I could upvote them ;-)
a new direction for awarding that allows redditors to empower one another and create more meaningful ways to reward high-quality contributions
Lmao wut
Just when you think the dumpster fire can't possibly burn any brighter, u/spez comes running with a barrel of gasoline.
NO WAY HAHAHAHA
Someone in the reddit comments mentioned you can use awards/coins to bypass ads. That makes sense. In a stupid way. I guess
I feel they're gonna replace it with some blockchain/crypto BS.
Lemmy is the new old Reddit, Reddit is the new new Twitter.
I dunno. Part of me thinks they have a plan. I have no idea what, but if the entire boardroom is just going along with all the crazy, it makes me think there's a reason. Maybe there's a thing that happens if reddit just tanks. Or maybe they all just want it to end and just want to watch it burn.
I'm not saying this is the case, it just wouldn't surprise me that in a year or so, something comes out to explain all the batshit decisions.
This should shock no one everything they are doing is to create a Facebook clone of sorts where they can easily feed people information and garner their attention in the form of ads. This truly marks the hour in which everyone needs to start looking for and at more open systems. When reddit went public and Tencent bought some of the company the writing was already on the wall.
Haha
Remember when people just said "reddit silver" to imply it was Reddit gold but they had no money, and then they made it into a paid thing and everyone stopped saying it. Now there is a bunch of meaningless icons on every front page post and reddit is removing them because??? Lol.
