He’ll always be my greedy little pigboy
As bots and sponsored content crowd the internet, Reddit is often seen as a more reliable source of information
How true is this nowadays though?
This has been true 10 years ago but now I’d actually think Reddit is significantly less trustworthy on average.
The astroturfing is insane. Literally every company I contract with has a #reddit slack channel where they orchestrate some form of astroturfing. Also most of software related subreddits are 100% astroturfed by admins who get kickbacks from promoting some SaaS or burying stories.
Basically any subreddit with external contact (discord, email etc) is open for “cooperation”.
This is not even covering major propaganda ops by troll networks, just commercial astroturfing. There’s current ongoing story that Ghislane Maxwell - yes that one - was a major mod on r/worldnews. Isn’t that just crazy?
Reddit is easily more bots and astroturfing than any other website on the internet.
The karma system is a black box for a reason. Votes go in, some other number that is not vote count comes out.
I don’t think that’s accurate.
Do you know what’s accurate? The new Gillette octashave five blade shaving system.
It relies on an AI system to deliver the most accurate shave you can get anywhere.
That is utter trash. Such astroturfing should not be tolerated here.
What you really need is the new Gillette Labs Heated Exfoliating and Wifi Enabled Smart Shaver, it takes the guess work out of a good shave.
It’s honestly shocking how these posts above successfully distract you from the great taste of Ovaltine.
But do remember, Tang has all your daily requirements for Vitamin C and is the Drink of Astronauts!
What a real man needs is an old fashioned Gillete Analogue Safety Razor with no unreliable tech. You pay the same amount, but for more reliability!
Gilette Analogue Satey Razor not compatable with safety razor blades, replacements cost $3 per blade and safety is not guaranteed
Lol, I don’t think so my dude! The only smooth, confident shave I’ll rely on is the Gillette Seven blade system, with shock-absorbing power grip handle and the most popular drivetrain in its class! It’s built Ford tough!
But does it have a Hemi? Like most all truck owners, I have no idea what it is, but I know my shaver needs it.
$3 per blade? Try 30!..
As fucked as reddit is, I doubt it’s the worst: X seems far worse.
in the communities that matter to me such that i can make an accurate judgement i find this to be correct
in the more political and news subs it might well be a shit show
For 10 years I’ve been asked to write software to astroturf reddit.
So maybe it’s seen as good, but it isn’t.
And for anyone wondering, I declined. I didn’t want to and if they had they would have been flogged by redditors when they figured it out (which they would have).
Also from that era I built a tool that scraped user histories and built a network of which communities and interests Redditors had. Then you could drop in a user and it would pull their sex, interests, approx age, etc.
And all that was from public Reddit data before companies like Facebook and Google saw every hyperlink you ever clicked.
Is this the jailbait mod guy?
Of course!
spez himself has admitted to making db level edits of comments. what a fucking piece of shit.
Reddit stock has almost doubled since I stopped creating content for them.
I knew it was all your fault!
Please, oh please tell me you had the same username on Reddit!
I wonder which he would rather have … the billionaire title or Aaron Swartz alive ?
I often wonder how different things would be if spez kicked the bucket and Swartz retained full control. Could have been a shining light in the sea of silicon valley dumbfuckery
think we all know the answer to that one.
Greedy little piss baby.
Gross
Good on him for playing on the idiots there that have bothered registering onto that degraded platform, including myself.
But everything else he can go fuck himself on.
