The comments are so misinformed it’s confusing, is it astroturfing?
Trying to talk some sense into people but I guess it’s a waste of time in that thread. Effort is probably better spent in Lemmy.
I doubt it. A lot of Reddit is for activism until it mildly inconveniences them. They probably had nothing to do but read shampoo bottles when they went to the bathroom once and decided the black out wasn’t worth it in their opinion
It is really weird to me that Reddit could be a money making venture at all. They can’t get enough money from ads or awards to actually break even. So that leaves selling user data. Ads might make more money for them if they could tailor them more to each community. I get that they want to be profitable but it seems they are really going about it in a backwards way considering all their content is from unpaid volunteers.
Costco is a weird sub anyway. I often picture the redditors there as obese folks trading tips on how to freeze massive key lime pies.
