Huffman is ostensibly following Elon Musk’s lead, and last I checked, Musk had pretty effectively chased away a massive amount of what one might call “rational” advertisers. Reddit is absolutely following a similar path, and soon enough there will be advertisers who no longer want to be associated with a toxic brand.
It’s not just similarities; Steve Huffman is openly and directly copying Musk. Honestly, given Ex-Twitter’s performance, I have no idea why any investors are allowing that.
spez doesn’t care. He’s realized that, despite his best befuddled efforts, reddit is failing and that no one else will hire him for a cushy CEO job. He wants to take his bag and leave while the getting is still (relatively) good.
“I’m going to say this comment is totally wrong, but I don’t actually care enough about the issue to explain it or use more than *checks notes… two words to justify my position.”
It’s unlikely I’ll write a longer answer on my phone. But if all you have is ridicule again, and insults, I’ll leave you with some short thoughts.
Gamestop has been doing fairly well, looking at financials. And people complain about not owning their virtual stuff, which NFT smart contracts could be a solution for. I don’t necessarily agree on the the specifics for blockchain based solution though, nor did I like the picturefest which only obfuscated good use cases.
It’s a technology, simple as. But since we’re back at the start, who profits the most from not moving status quo?
What other viable and available technology options are there for a system where the consumer can somewhat freely do what they want with digital assets?

When can we start shorting the stock? /s
Hmmm, let’s see.
Failing company rooted in a more traditional framework they’re trying to break out of
Said company has no idea what they’re doing and keep doing ridiculous things to “break out of” traditional framework
Keeps doing things no user/customer asked for
Said company has no real effective long-term game-plan and keeps changing tack because of bad previous choices
There’s a good chance the company could go completely bust because of lack of good business plan and solid leadership
Redditors: Reddit is the new GameStop!! DRS!! MOASS!!!
I’m pretty sure the advertisers - their real customers - asked them to show more ads.

Ostensibly? I think you mean obviously/openly.

Edit: unlike of course vague half truths
Imagine simping for NFTs in 2024.

And wtf simping? Wat
NFTs do nothing to help this.
How do you figure?
It takes a few weeks for options to become available, but they will.
If you have a shit ton of money you can buy shorts directly.
Why do ya need tons of money for shorts? I can buy some $15 shorts at Walmart just easily.
If you really want to sabotage, just upload lots of videos to subreddits that you can’t advertise on.
so use Reddit for exclusively porn? way ahead of you
Lemmy has way better quality porn
Not if you’re gay
