Reddit CEO teases AI search features and paid subreddits

LOL paid subreddits. ok, yea--let me PAY YOU for the privilege of providing content FOR YOU. LOL

get fucked. reddit is a toxic rotting husk of what it used to be. good riddance

While I do miss the subs with thousands, and the very obscure subs for my specific interest, this shit makes me glad I got out

"Reddit CEO teases new ways to damage and eventually kill Reddit"

Oh cool so we're gonna get another wave of users joining lemmy, it's nice that they keep fucking up at such a regular cadence

Left Reddit over a year ago, haven't been back once. It was surprisingly easy, and a year on, it's getting easier for others too.

tldr - “Reddit teases features to make the platform even worse”

what a goddamn shithole. the dark thing about this is that they will continue to retain the critical mass of users and they know it. it's where the most users and content are. so many communities were completely erased during the mod strike and it didn't matter. they knew they would be completely fine. the future is an authoritarian world effectively governed by companies like this.

AI to summarize and recommend content, helping users dive deeper into products, shows, games

Notice they don't talk about hobbies or common interests, just "shit we can sell them"

Cool, I've heard that people love paying for access to their own content that used to be free.

This is a good time for anyone still on the site to share some Lemmy links.

Fixing reddit search? Just insert a 2021 google search bar on old.reddit. I just saved you millions you dingus. Thank goodness Aaron Swartz doesn't have to see what happened to his joint venture.

Can’t wait to pay for the privilege of visiting /r/sinkpissers

haha, lol, paid subreddits:D

Wow all 8 of their non-bot users will surely be very disappointed.

Don't post reddit ads on lemmy thanks.

Fuck Spez

Fuck Spez!

Who tf still uses Reddit? It's all bots and power tripping mods nowadays. Lemmy is a million times better imo.

Well, glad I jumped ship after the api fee fiasco. I never even used the mobile app, but the tone deaf/elonification, I was done. That's right he got the great idea from Musk. How's that IPO working out?

they're definitely going to finally kill old reddit arent they

“Tease” doing a lot of heavy lifting there. It’s only a tease if it’s something people actually want.

Fuck reddit, I got banned from Worldnews for asking when Ukraine would attack other targets. I was banned for "call for violence" it was a post about the war. So stupid

Setting up the stage for a OnlyFans lookalike for all those wild reddit females

This is a good thing for the Fediverse.

Some players in the ecosystem have not been transparent with their use of Reddit’s content, and in those instances, we block access to protect Reddit content and user privacy.

Aka "Fuck you, pay me", at least Reddit is transparent that data is for sale and they think they own it.

Twitter made a great job with the paid blue check. It's so much easier now to detect an idiot just by looking if they have a paid blue check. In Reddit it will be the same. If someone joins a paid sub, you can already say they are an idiot.

good luck with that

Cool, fuck off and die.

Reddit has become unusable. I had an account there for 7 years and no problem. I tried checking out Reddit again this year and I got permanently banned within a day. You can't say anything there anymore cause you'll inevitably piss off a power hungry mod who will ban you for nothing. There's no longer discussion to be had there.

I made a comment on the Gladiator 2 trailer, asking why Danzel is playing Micrinus, who was North African but of Roman blood and born in Alegeria and raised in Africa as a provincial. And pointed out how it's similar to that Cleopatra documentary inaccurately thinking that all people in Africa, even Egypt and North Africa were black. I pointed out Micrinus was Berber which were originally a more white race who mixed with Arab blood, so they were like a slightly darker skinned Romans, but not black.

I was banned for "racist commentary and bigotry"

That's an interesting way of writing "Reddit CEO proves there's no such thing as enough when you suffer from dragon syndrome."

Look, Reddit search is already a shit show. Them overhauling it whatever way can't possibly make it much worse anyway.

Paid subreddits though. I didn't know we were already in April.

Redditors staged a coup and overthrew the CEO once before, why isn't it happening again?

I think he already got pay-to-search and AI-infiltrated subreddits.

He's just trying new combos.

To go along with your shitty AI written articles!

Imagine if reddit makes porn subreddits paid

They're already demanding search engines pay to search Reddit; will they have to pay even more to search paid subreddits?

Mods are probably asking for paid subs. They would view it as an easy tool to prevent new spam accounts.

I know the average person usually doesn't care, but surely most of the population of reddit must have realized how shit it is by now.

Subscription models are finally coming to Reddit! It's about time those greedy bastards start milking their userbase.

Thanks, I hate it

Last time I've been using search on Reddit (ages ago) normal search already produced shitty, useless results. And now he wants to make it even worse by throwing in AI?
