“accidentally”…
People thinking that bots are real people increases engagement numbers.
ITT: Reddit addicts talk about how shitty reddit is but they still need it for their very special reason.
for their very special reason.
Gay porn?
All kinds of porn
Or whatever
Gay torrents is a thing though
There are still humans on Reddit?
Eventually their stock price will crater if the platform hollows out any more. Companies pay a lot of money for advertisements and they measure the effectiveness of the ads. Ad platforms (usually) spend a lot of money to ensure that impressions aren’t wasted on bot traffic.
If you shed your user base while amplifying bot accounts, there’s no reason for companies to bring their ad spend to you.
Once again MBA greed and short term thinking wrecks something that had value.
Not wrecked. Cashed out. It’s intentional, and they’re just making as much as they can get away with, before the well dries out.
It’s wrecked for the users, sure, but this is what capitalism is. Stealing and selling what others created, for profit, fucking them over.
Bingo, they know what theyre doing, theyre enshittifying.
Gotta squeeze all the blood out of the stone.
They know theyre going down, theyre deciding to make as much money as possible while doing so.
Who cares if that causes mass spread of mis and disinformation? That ain’t illegal, and it is profitable.
Pretty simple solution.
Stop using reddit.
deleted by creator
any other places with pseudo tech support or tech hardware reviews?
There’s definitely better places for relationship advice
We can replace reddit with while(true) do print(“Break up with them”) end
Big red flag.
Easy to say and want, but harder to do. There’s so much more activity especially for niche subjects it’s hard to quit. As soon as Lemmy gets all that, I’ll finally be able to leave.
Jesus Christ, man.
From your comment, I guess you’re thinking about porn. I’m thinking about r/Delta for my flights information, r/IASIP for my favorite tv show, r/2007scape for my favorite video game discussion, r/ASTSpacemobile for my favorite stock… ya know, not very good communities on here for all that yet. Once those are on here, I can finally leave Reddit.

this one exists, at least. Go make some posts there, be the change you want to see
It takes, on average, seven attempts to leave an abusive relationship.
No, I wasn’t talking about porn, at least that would be a real addiction. I’m sure your reasons are totally respectable and unique.
Then why even comment something like that?
Because it’s hilarious that you guys can’t put the phone down or block a website??
In the search bar type
Author:(username)
Shows you every post and comment they’ve made, including “hidden” ones, with more sort options than their actual profile.
This worked for me for a little while, but then some update must have patched it up.
Not long after, a redditor dropped the following link:
Any post or message containing this link is auto-banned immediately on reddit. Even though bot infestation has been a problem for a bit, I think a lot of actual redditors set their profiles to prevent A.I. scraping
Literally used it today with no problems 🤷♂️
Thank you sir. Here is the post that got me permabanned: (thread: How do you think the Trump Presidency will end? r/AskReddit)
[In response to another user’s comment, BTW]
At this point you should be openly antagonistic to any reddit mod who calls you out for threatening violence against these douchebag Nazis.
You are protecting and enabling the villains when you ban us for saying these things BTW. Keep that in mind before you hit the “Ban User Button” on this comment. (Also this was not a direct threat to anyone, merely commentary, so you can REALLY stuff it.)
I’m not attempting to brigade or anything, and yeah, this technically from Reddit, but it’s a deleted post, (I deleted it) so kinda doesn’t exist there anymore. This is more…a “sample for consideration.”
I’m pretty sure this doesn’t work if a user has hidden their posts
It 100% does. Did it earlier today.
> be me bored 4Channer > click on obvious bot account using ChatGPT > want to check post history for confirmation > realize this is fucking 4Chan... there's no such thing as history > wtf.jpgI think the difference is that reddit pretends to have a system for floating high quality posts to the top, whereas 4chan openly brands itself as an ocean of piss
Whoa whoa whoa, it’s not just piss. There’s loads of shit too, floating in the sea of piss.
Real and heterosexual.
The irony is that me, a real person, gets banned and banned some more, for saying something pro-Republican back in 2012, while these bot accounts spray slop all over the site with immunity.
It’s ok, I’ve been perma-banned for stating the simple fact that Andrew Tate deserves to be beaten to death in a dark and hopeless Brazilian prison. So they’ve come full circle.
to be fair, you should be banned from everywhere, where people have civil discussions. Once for promoting murder, obviously, and then again for not knowing the difference between opinion and fact.
are you still republican?
No, I was never a republican I’m just not a “blue no matter who” type of person
That sucks man. I got banned for “anti-Zionism”. Reddit really has become a meaningless wasteland for anyone with political opinions.
They treat anybody with an account that’s less than 30 days old as if they’re animals to be abused for sport. Someone should file a class action lawsuit over Shadow banning. You could post 50 messages before you start to even realize that nobody is seeing them.
