This will absolutely print money. Ad companies and normies will unironically loooove this.
Long term, I expect this will accelerate astroturfing and obliterate whatever credibility remains on Reddit. But, Reddit was already heading in that direction anyway and 99% of people couldn't care less, so this will make bank.
Fuck spez.
Yes. Normies and non-normies alike have used Reddit as a goldmine for reviews & advice on niche products. Because it was generally real people giving real advice, and bullshit ads were downvoted.
This will incentivize abusive behavior and lead to it no longer functioning as a place you can reasonably expect real people/
My only reason for going back is for /r/cfb because there is no good coverage of college football on lemmy that compares. At least not that I have found
This is not reddit, even empty communities with one post get seen by people, I made a few in the past on different accounts, instantly got discussions, just only had like one other poster if that
Only option there is use rss or reddit and share them here to discuss them, most posts do seem to get traction if they are made here for any topic, they just have to exist. Like enough to have a discussion at least.
