I logged in to Reddit today
Today, not in a moment of necessity, but a moment of protest, I logged in to Reddit because I found tons of comments and posts listed on old Reddit when you sort by top or controversial.
I logged in to Reddit to destroy even more of my comments that were missed by Power Delete Suite.
It seems a lot of people are doing this. I’ve seen some interesting stuff here and Reddit with screenshots of deleted comments with “this solved my problem” below the deletion.
The way I look at it, ALL of my content was posted via Apollo, just like all of my comments and posts are through WefWef here. If Reddit admins felt the API shouldn’t be free, then my submissions are also not free for them to monetize and get traffic from.
I know for a fact I’ve had 100+ #1 ranked longtail SEO posts in Reddit before I deleted everything. Many of them were getting tons of traffic based on the amount of follow-up private messages received years later.
I do expect Reddit’s traffic to go down as a whole because of everyone leaving but also because of how many removed their content.
That IPO of theirs is going so well.
You're viewing a single thread.
The only thing reddit has done is lost the will of its users to ever pay for their flair features to support them. They've utterly tanked something that is a cornerstone of Twitch because of their complete disrespect to users.
This is false. The amount of people who are ready to pay microtransactions for some dumb meaningless feature is absurd. Reddit can and will make money out of those normies.
They are still far lower than the numbers from Twitch. In reddit, you havenumbers in the hundreds of thousands of users. In Twitch, you have numbers in the millions, so not sure how it's false to claim reddit has utterly tanked that business opportunity. People don't mind paying for microtransaction crap when it involves services and developers they want to support. For all of reddit's talk, they have not wanted to support content producers in that way, and have at times been completely hostile to them.
