Reddit forces personalized ads, starts X-like user payment program

Like it or not, Reddit wants to "improve ad performance."

I left a couple of months ago. Couldn’t be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

    It is partly your fault since you are apparently doing nothing to help that… do you think stuff happens magically without anyone taking the steps for it? You have everything you need to help it, do that instead of being a fucking idiot.

      I was kind of with you until saying they’re “being a fucking idiot.”

      Encouraging someone to help out? Great.

      Browbeating someone for voicing the viewpoint or experience a lot of users are facing? We can do better than that.

      Not the one you’re replying to, but sometimes you’re just a follower of some community, because you lack the knowledge to be more than that even when you are interested in the subject. To create/moderate a community, or even to be quite active in it, isn’t for everyone, I guess. No need to insult someone because they can’t do more than they’re able to.

      In my opinion, that is.

      On a second thought, maybe let’s not move stuff I like in a place with people so rude and obnoxious.
