So this is what spez meant by
Apollo-Related Subreddit Blackouts ‘Will Pass,’ No Significant Revenue Impact So Far.
Man, they really really want that cash, I don’t think Reddit cares at all at this point. They’d be happy with repost bots on their platform.
Good luck doing that with 8000 other subs.
They don’t need to take over all of them. A dozen or two of the largest subs would be plenty. Those with less than a couple hundred thousand subscribers, don’t really matter much.
A dozen or two of the largest subs would be plenty.
Those subs required a huge effort to moderate before, but it’s going to be 10x worse now that every submission is going to be AI generated pictures of spez doing things to goats or something.
Even trying to take over the biggest subs would be Herculean, especially considering they just laid off 5% of their staff.
As is suggested in the original post on Reddit, they could delegate moderation to the moderators opposing the blackout, as seems to have happened with r/AdviceAnimals. I feel like that’s something they very well could do.
Bet you they are going to use AI for the modding system. I swear this is their plan.
I say as soon as the subs go live we all just spam Lemmy links to the new pages.
They can’t ban us all. The mods probably won’t care and the ones savvy enough will make it out.
We need the small wins first.
Raising the price on api usage was a dick move, this is just rude.
It’s literally embarrassing that Reddit is doing this, Reddit doing dumb API changes, Spez falsely accusing the owner of apollo of blackmail, and now they’re unprivating subreddits.
I had a feeling they would do that.
Time to shame the new admin for crossing the picket line. Disgusting behavior.
Of course they are. That is why I am here, Reddit in my eyes is done for either way and once it is on the stock market, it’ll only get worse.
