All we need is the gru format and I think I've seen them all.

We need a fourth box where he beats his own head with the stick and yells at the bike for hitting him.

We need a rule on this sub banning memes about the API changes on reddit

They are very repetitive

Not only charging but pricing it so high none of them can afford it. Lol

That was probably the goal of this whole endeavor. Make Reddit pretty for outside (who doesn't really know a lot about Reddit, other then it's name) for an IPO and let the retail investors hold the bag.

Oh, maybe. A big push before the sell. Too bad they're down. Talk about a critical point to go down.

[–] SuitedUpDev 1 points 2 years ago

Haha yeah... My outside guess is that their feedbuilder is down. I just checked, browsing individual subreddits (the few that are still viewablwe lol) does work.

This is pretty uninformed. Users have never, ever made Reddit a cent of profit. They were never meant to. The whole plan all along was to sell out. The original crew sold out to Conde Nast and got rich. Conde Nast is selling out to investors in the LLM and general AI space, who want to use all the data that Reddit's users have lovingly authored for Reddit to train their networks. The idea that upsetting the users is a problem for Reddit is as backwards as thinking that upsetting the pig is a problem for the slaughterhouse.

Rhetorical question, where do you think Reddit gets it's value from. Let me tell you, it's User Generated Content (or USG for short). Or in other words, stuff that user created, up (and down) voted and user comments. Do you really think Reddit would even get advertiser money or investment money, if there weren't any users . Of course not. So who created that data for Reddit to profit from ? Right, that's the users.

No users == no usecase == no money. It's that simple.
