Whoa! whats this? Hm.

Woah. A pledge from a CEO. There’s no way this is meaningless PR bullshit. We better take it seriously.

It's really wild that the guy who co-founded Reddit is so universally hated by the users.

Talk about having completely lost touch.

no one cares

Ha ha ha. Spez can be hilarious when he wants to be.

Not by this human.

How does that work when your auto-banning everyone?

Really? So he's going to get rid of all the bots?

meanwhile in the average comment section there...

shitddit ceo is lying

… and mined and monetized by AI

Fuck /u/spez

Reddit is filled to the brim with bots.

lol

Lmao, even

Butt Huffman said*

Ftfy

Then maybe they should stop banning all their human users.

Sounds like a AI saying it. Half of reddits users are bots, mostly ran by AI

He can't let people poison the training data, or else his site will have no value to its customers.

Yeah, they may not have AI generated content (yet) but I left because their AI moderators REPEATEDLY warned/banned me from the site. Every time I sent a protest letter and had an actual person look at the post, I was unbanned, but I am fed the fuck up. That site is a study in enshittification. I am done with those assholes.

And, if they think I'm going to let them scan my retina in order to post, they can fuck right off.

(And bots.)

Biggest woosh moment on the whole history of internet! On the other note, shut this community now! We can't get peak than this!

"Advertising Festival" sounds like my own personal Hell.

LOL!

until every single comment and post has a capacha and 3factor behind it, the site will be overrun with bots... and when it does... the frustration will create a wasteland.

meh, haven't been to reddit in months. nothing but bots arguing with bots. won't miss it. /fuckspez
