“We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation”

Well now I'm glad I deleted my entire history as well as my account. FUCK THAT. I haven't been on FB, Twitter or any of that other data grubbing bullshit in years.

I might need to address a GDPR delete request.

Ugh.... That marketing language makes me cringe hard.

What are you talking about? This is how me and the boys talk to each other. It's all shifting paradigms and actionable conversations.

Me and the boys are agile.

[–] Klame@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Me and the boys are synergic.

Welp, time to delete my Reddit account, I guess. I thought there was a (small) chance Reddit would come to their senses vis a vis the API, but with this shit, even if they do, who cares?

Thanks, Reddit. It was fun while it lasted.

Jesus Christ Reddit just announce an sdk or that you're working on a way to get ads in third party apps. That would solve everything.

Reading this shit makes my blood boil. Is it too much to ask to not be simmered down to a product instead of a human?

Of course it is
