AMAs died when Reddit fired Victoria, they haven’t been worth a shit in a while.
That’s not just any publication, it’s owned by Reddit’s largest shareholder. They must be worried.
Reddit created a way to drive more people to its native apps (where Reddit shows ads and generates revenue) as of July 1. But we can’t overlook that Reddit was built on people’s willingness to provide free content and labor, and the API battle has driven away some of the most popular content and veteran volunteer mods.
Reddit won the battle for API fees, but the war for desirable content—something no social media platform can ever be complacent about—is at risk. And that’s not the type of problem that ousted mods and forcibly reopened subreddits can fix.
Advance Publications, which owns Ars Technica parent Condé Nast, is the largest shareholder in Reddit.
This is too good.
Looks like a certain super talented Australian actress picked the right place to promote “Barbie”.
Margot Elise Robbie, you’re a genius.
Man I just hope this account is actually legit and operate by the real Margot Robbie. That’d be hilarious.
It would, right?
What is this referring to?
It’s refering to my new movie, “Barbie”, silly.
Imma need to see your verification pic, Ms. Robbie.
Ew no you’re just going to post it to lemmynsfw.
I mean, you’re welcome to do one with your clothes on.
Margot Elise Robbie, your posts of tech commentary and promotion of “Barbie” on in theaters July 21st is AMAZING!!!
That’s “character actress Margot Robbie, marketing genius” for you!
Tldr: iama mods are no longer seeking out celebrities or doing any high value organizing like that. They will do only basic modding.
Why are they still doing moderation for free on a horrible website that is reddit? They should just quit & laugh.
Why would they want to do something for free for a company that shows them no appreciation? This is the right move.
Honestly, any user or mod that sticks around Reddit after this entire thing…I just don’t get. How can you be so disregarded, have your opinion so thoroughly dismissed, and then just keep creating content and driving traffic to the company? Fuck capitalism, but fuck reddit in this particular instance.

Because they don’t care. Why do you think people are still sticking with Facebook and TikTok?
Because they don’t care.
Not entirely true.
Some of us are still occasionally browsing parts of reddit because not every niche community has fully made the transition yet and said niche communities are the ONLY places to get relevant, timely information for those niches.
I know for me there are some decade+ old MMO communities that haven’t swapped over yet. Since many of the old wikis got shut down years ago when fandom, etc, took over everything, for some games the only choices are youtube and reddit. Personally, I hate youtube’s monetization forcing tiny bits of information to be strung out into 15-20+ minute videos more than I hate what the reddit team is doing, and I hate what’s happened to reddit a LOT.
The move is going to be an ongoing process for a while.
Labeling everyone with broad brush strokes misses some of the nuance of the situation, but I look forward to the day I no longer have to visit Reddit for the information I’m looking for.

It’s not perfect, but SponsorBlock helps a bit with that, it can automatically skips reminders and such. And the new YouTube chapter feature is also actually good for finding the info you want in a video, but that depends on the video creator.
I really miss the old wikis, Fandom is just filled with irrelevant bullshit like recommending me I visit another wiki that has nothing to do with the one I’m using at the moment.
