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.
Me and the boys are synergic.
So paid manipulation of the sub that was designed to inform users of genuinely good quality products, this probably will be the case for every major subreddit about any consumer product.
Reddit is about to go significantly downhill.
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.
I just did. We'll see how that goes.
Based on how Reddit keeps data, that'll either make a massive legal overhead while they try to sort out the legal basis for keeping the data, then again for using it with 3rd party advertisers, then again when they're told to delete it after a limited lifespan.
Or, Reddit goes 100% dark in the EU.
Or they completely ignore and it and nothing happens until someone actually sues them and it goes through the courts, which could take years.
I don't have to sue them, in France if someone fucks with my data I can create a case on the CNIL website (the National Comission of IT and freedom) and tell on the idiots.
Then the CNIL takes them on, and brings out the hammer of the law if needed.
yeah, fuck that
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.
