  If you really want to sabotage, just upload lots of videos to subreddits that you can’t advertise on.

    so use Reddit for exclusively porn? way ahead of you

      Im betting porn only has a year or 2 left on reddit. They already been slowly purging for years. Got to keep the advertisers happy.

        There was some other social media site that banned porn a few years ago, I think it was Tumblr? I wonder how that worked out for them.

        2 years left till the inevitable porn ban on reddit and 3 years till that decision kills them

      But they killed APIs entirely for nsfw, so that is broken now too.

        You can technically just make yourself a mod of your own private subreddit, then NSFW works fine with the API. It works with RedReader. I still use Reddit for very niche subreddits.

      Lemmy has way better quality porn

      • Igloojoe@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Disagree. Lemmy’s porn in like 75% just bots reposting content.

        Maybe so, but it doesn’t have my porn

      Reddit doesn’t allow NSFW videos on their own hosting service

  Hmmm, let’s see.

  • Failing company rooted in a more traditional framework they’re trying to break out of

  • Said company has no idea what they’re doing and keep doing ridiculous things to “break out of” traditional framework

  • Keeps doing things no user/customer asked for

  • Said company has no real effective long-term game-plan and keeps changing tack

  • There’s a good chance the company could go completely bust because of lack of good business plan and solid leadership

  Redditors: Reddit is the new GameStop!! DRS!! MOASS!!!

    Keeps doing things no user/customer asked for

    I'm pretty sure the advertisers - their real customers - asked them to show more ads.

      Huffman is ostensibly following Elon Musk’s lead, and last I checked, Musk had pretty effectively chased away a massive amount of what one might call “rational” advertisers. Reddit is absolutely following a similar path, and soon enough there will be advertisers who no longer want to be associated with a toxic brand.

        Ostensibly? I think you mean obviously/openly.

        nbcnews.com/…/reddit-blackout-protest-private-ceo…

        It’s not just similarities; Steve Huffman is openly and directly copying Musk. Honestly, given Ex-Twitter’s performance, I have no idea why any investors are allowing that.

        spez doesn't care. He's realized that, despite his best befuddled efforts, reddit is failing and that no one else will hire him for a cushy CEO job. He wants to take his bag and leave while the getting is still (relatively) good.

      I fucking love dumbshit comments like these!

      I’m going to say this comment is totally wrong, but I don’t actually care enough about the issue to explain it or use more than *checks notes… two words to justify my position.

      Fucking hilarious, every time.

        It’s unlikely I’ll write a longer answer on my phone. But if all you have is ridicule, again, I’ll leave you with some short thoughts.

        Gamestop has been doing fairly well, looking at financials. And people complain about not owning their virtual stuff, which NFT smart contracts could be a solution for. I don’t necessarily agree on the the specifics for blockchain based solution though, nor did I like the picturefest which only obfuscated good use cases.

  It takes a few weeks for options to become available, but they will.

  If you have a shit ton of money you can buy shorts directly.
