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 Ramps Up Its Threats To Protesting Mods, As Ad Buyers Leave in c/technology@lemmy.world

At the end of the day, Reddit is just a message board. The absolute hubris to think that one could seriously go public with a message board website... It's baffling.

Honestly, Reddit missed the ship to IPO. They should have done it a decade ago if at all.

Without mods, Reddit will become overrun with bots, rendering the precious data Reddit so desparately tries to monetize practically useless.

Reddit can't run without its moderators and it can't monetize without data. I encourage everyone who's defected to Lemmy from Reddit to wipe their old Reddit account using Redact. I just wiped my old account of 15 years worth of comments and post history.

Like others, I'm also here from Reddit Is Fun. I was a reddit user for over 16 years (with a 15 year old account). For over half of that time, RIF was my exclusive conduit to Reddit as the desktop site became increasingly unusable. Now that RIF is gone, I won't be going back.
