News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You can't shove ads to people if you ban them all the time.
I don't know the actual numbers but that would only apply if their base of active users has significantly declined
That was a joke. I don't know where Reddit gets money from, so no idea on what the price of their shares depends on.
I know only that they are morons and degenerates.
There are more than enough bots to prop up those numbers.
Eventually that backfires hard. There are ways to measure the effectiveness of ads and bots don’t buy shit. The number one ad on reddit is “buy some ads, people love seeing and clicking on reddit ads!”
Reddit ads are terrible, no one clicks them, they all use clickbait post titles, and there’s more each day.
There was a smart way to monetize reddit, their choices make it clear what kind of people are making decisions at reddit.
my adblocker prevents those ads so i never see them anyways. reddit doesnt have any aggressive ads compared to other sites.
it correlated right around the time they banned me, like early feb, when they did to everyone else.
Ok, so this is kind of pathetic, but my main account was banned over a week ago but I am attached to my subreddits enough that I kept browsing. You can totally navigate your subreddits, you just can't comment. They even let you up/down vote though I doubt it actually gets counted.
Anyway - they can totally still serve you ads from a banned account if you are a fool like me.
same thing, im lurking a couple subs that are niche, but too afraid to comment on other subs which im active in, beause the acct im using already has been flagged.
