Reddit forces personalized ads, starts X-like user payment program

Like it or not, Reddit wants to "improve ad performance."

I left a couple of months ago. Couldn’t be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

      I was kind of with you until saying they’re “being a fucking idiot.”

      Encouraging someone to help out? Great.

      Browbeating someone for voicing the viewpoint or experience a lot of users are facing? We can do better than that.

      Not the one you’re replying to, but sometimes you’re just a follower of some community, because you lack the knowledge to be more than that even when you are interested in the subject. To create/moderate a community, or even to be quite active in it, isn’t for everyone, I guess. No need to insult someone because they can’t do more than they’re able to.

      In my opinion, that is.

      On a second thought, maybe let’s not move stuff I like in a place with people so rude and obnoxious.
