    No. Reddit is dead to me.

    You continue to help boost user engagement metrics. Just what the IPO needs.

    Any traffic on Reddit or engagement with anything they’re doing is bad. Quit visiting r/place. All you’re doing is padding numbers for their IPO stats.

      I think that getting “fuck u/spez” and ads for the competition all over it is a big win, personally. They are getting a bunch of negative press from this.

        You want to give Reddit bad press? Stop posting links to Lemmy. Start posting links to fetish porn.

          An investment firm executive makes it their business to know everything there is to know about negative press (or anything else that could jeopardize their management of an IPO), which this campaign is generating huge amounts of…

          This is stupid to me. You really think advertisers look only at the stats and not the content? Having been part of trans who had to decide “who to spend our money on” - the content matters A LOT

          Kinda true but we also know that advertisers can be very picky about having their content displayed next to sensitive content or even profanity. So seeing a guillotine and fuck spez written all over Place on Day 1 was pretty cool

    I’m going to buy this beer and pour it out in protest…

    I’m going to buy these books and burn them in protest…

    I’m going to log into Reddit and place a stern message on /r/place in protest…

    Do you see the pattern…

    Good luck to anyone doing it but the whole reason I’m on Lemmy is because I refuse to use reddit’s garbage app. I’m not gonna start now.

    Remember when Reddit actually had variety in their site wide social “games”/experiments? Remember the button? Or the colors? Or headdit? Now it feels like r/place is their one trick pony and honestly it’s a beaten horse at this point, in my opinion.
