Wew, my raging negativity will keep them from buying my data then.
Spez needs to fund his spezial needs somehow
For $19.95 this is a great comment!
Connecting ads masquerading as posts to bot posts shilling the same crap, got it
Mmmmmm I love not being on Reddit
Quotes from the original announcement:
Today, Reddit is the most human place on the internet, and one of the last places on the internet where brands can build authentic, trusted and engaged relationships with customers.
Bwahaha, “most human”? Really? Wow.
A scalable, AI-powered social listening tool designed to unlock strategic value
Barf. Oh boy, “social listening tool” - that’s a new one…
These are tools for a new era of community marketing, one where brands can tap into Reddit’s authenticity
Yup, because nothing says “authenticity” like artificially realigned messages interspersed with AI slop ads. Such real, much authentic, wow…
By “Most Human” clearly they mean the most flawed and greedy.

Hahaha, great point :) HELLO FELLOW HUMAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUILD AN AUTHENTIC, TRUSTED AND ENGAGED RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THAT IS TOTALLY NOT A ROBOT? :D
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Thankfully, there’s Lemmy. Makes me appreciate it even more when I read stuff like this.
How better to celebrate the 2-year anniversary of Rexit?
The APIcalypse.
May the api access rest in peace

Fuck spez.
Spez is a greedy little pig boy.
Spez is a lizard robot. I mean, just look at it. It’s a fucking weird creep
This wouldn’t be an issue if Reddit always attached relevant posts, including negative ones even if those were the minority, to actually help people make a more informed judgement about an ad based on community sentiment, but I think we all know that won’t be the way this goes.
Posts will inevitably only be linked if they are positive, or at the very least neutral about the product being advertised, because that’s what would allow Reddit to sell advertisers on their higher ROI. The bandwagon effect is a real psychological effect, and Reddit knows it.
I specifically look for negative reviews before buying something. I haven’t really put numbers to a ratio of good to bad where I feel reassured about buying something but I’m sure it’s there. If your product has 5000 reviews with no bad ones, something is fucked up. If the majority of the reviews are “the delivery guy spiked the package on my porch and it was broke I’D GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD” then that’s a little better. Someone somewhere is going to have a legit grievance. I want to know what that is.
Joke’s on them. I just post and comment negative rants.

I’m perfectly able to be negative about them and their competition at the same time.

Bastards… I spend a lot of time carefully crafting them :-P
I post positive ways to avoid consumerism.
I have no doubt a way will be found to use this against the companies that deserve it, looking forward to the memes this will produce
One more reason to be glad I ditched that hellpit.
“When I’m cutting people off in traffic, illegally parking in handicap spaces, and racing at 100 mph through school zones, I rely on my Dodge Ram pickup to get it done!”
When I plowed through that kindergarten I didn’t get as much as a single dent. If that isn’t an endorsement, then I don’t know what is.
I mean this isn’t far from the current state of things. I subscribe to /r/fuckcars an anti-car sub and regularly see car ads. These advertisers are wasting their money.
All of this spying and data hoarding has resulted in a finely tuned advertising machine that directs car ads to people who specifically hate cars with a burning passion. Peak of targeted advertising.👌
And people still wonder why I use every means within my disposal to block ads. Even if I allowed ads, they aren’t targeted enough to be much more than an annoyance. Even when they somehow manage to show me something I care about, I’m seeing an interesting product from the highest paying company. It’s not the best product in that category, nor is the one that would serve me best. It’s the one from the company that was willing to pay more than any other. Advertising is just so broken in every way you can think of.
Because Reddit is a nazi sympathizing, brown shirt wearing shithole for jack booted thugs and fascists. It all started when some cunt at Reddit thought “what if my user base was a product?”, and thus the en-digg-ification of Reddit was complete.
Fuck that fascist friendly corpo shithole, it belongs in the dumpster next to Digg.
