If you guys really wanted to let Spez know how mad you are you would STOP GOING TO REDDIT... Every time "fuck spez" shows up on this page it just means a bunch of people got on Reddit and boosted their numbers which makes them look more valuable to investors for the IPO.
Do I really need to remind you that Spez or anyone else who works for Reddit COULD TAKE THIS DOWN AT LITERALLY ANYTIME THEY FEEL LIKE IT?
Every time you go there and write "fuck spez" I'm sure he goes to sleep crying into the giant pile of money he sleeps on
I'll say it once more, if you want Spez to pay DO NOT GO ON REDDIT EVEN TO TELL HIM WHAT A FUCKING ASSHOLE HE IS, THAT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO
This doesn't make alot of sense to me. Doubt all that was created by Lemmy users that logged in to reddit-that's simply Reddit users? Can't be good for Reddit that this is going on such a large scale. And if nothing else .... Great amusement lol
It only takes a few dedicated people with bots, but it does probably benefit their metrics.
Trying to convert those metrics into revenue is what started this whole thing in the first place. If they were so effective at turning any engagement to their advantage, we'd still all be engaging there via whatever third party app we were using before they got disabled.
Have you tried to actually go to r/place? You can't even view the page on your phone unless you're using their garbage official app. It's definitely meant to try and increase app engagement
At this point it is big enough to gather the interest of the media whether it stays up or gets wiped, and investors watch the media like hawks.
Streisand effect. They keep deleting it. More people will help. Similarly, you telling people not to go on reddit, will make people go on reddit.
I need to test that theory for science. Do NOT send me $20.
This is not Streisand effect, because the censoring happens on reddit. Anyone on that platform is already there.
Streisand Effect really only applies if they were making their own submissions about it. Replying to this one doesn't really make the cut IMO!
Sorry, lad... folks really love the circlejerk and can't/won't stop doing it until it dies down. It's kind of like "talking to a wall" at this rate.
See I think you have it twisted. We need a good mix of both.
If site traffic plummets thats bad for Spez, if place is a giant "fuck spez" banner and it gets reported on by tech news and legitimate financial news its also bad for spez.
If investors look at the blackout and the desperate scrambling for volunteers to mod subs, and a traffic decline AND the fact that the administration cant seem to do anything about some members turning place into a monkey shit fight at the zoo... Some of them might just realise that Reddit is a very risky investment.
I still say if this wasn't exactly what the corporate management of Reddit wanted, then it would have been taken down by now though.
Why else would it exist? They've already proven that they won't hesitate to censor/destroy anything that's not in line with their plans for the IPO, so it doesn't make sense that this one thing would be beyond their control in any way whatsoever.
