Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

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.
They were actually doing great combating bots in the past, loved reading their biannual reports on the subject, but after they partnered with AI I don't think there is any benefit of the doubt to give.
If we don’t look for bots, there aren’t any. Sounds more republican every day. If we don’t record covid deaths, there aren’t any.

I don't believe him.
Remember how corporations are people? Well, bots can be human if you pay enough.

Really? So he's going to get rid of all the bots?
Except the ones pushing right wing propaganda.
It's really wild that the guy who co-founded Reddit is so universally hated by the users.
Talk about having completely lost touch.
Maybe so but he made enough money for that second yacht.
If he'd tried to nurture some goodwill, perhaps the users wouldn't so harshly reject all attempts at monetization.
Perhaps then he'd be able to afford yachts that don't look so puny next to those of other social media oligarchs and could go to bed with the satisfaction of having made a profit at least once in his life.

Butt Huffman said*
Ftfy
Pretty sure all the humans left Reddit like two years ago.
For me it was a few hours ago. My first profile got banned for "inciting violence" cause I said "fuck trump and Obama". And just got my other account banned for inciting violence but they deleted the comment so I can't tell you what exactly I said, but it's not in my nature to actually advocate for violence.
I believe I was followed around by some trumptard, cause I'm a pretty out and loud leftist. I'm not going through the trouble of creating another one as I have been using it very infrequently since discovering boost for Android. Plus I don't want to help them pad their numbers, or be at the wim of some ai system that doesn't even read the comment and just auto bans.

lol
Lmao, even
"Advertising Festival" sounds like my own personal Hell.
Ironically the fact that Star Trek is the one of the only specific media franchises that can maintain an active community on Lemmy explains it.
Still praying for the dropout community to migrate.
Then maybe they should stop banning all their human users.
Half of the comments are from bots and everyone gets autobanned.
Reddit is quite literally on autopilot
And the other half are re-posts.

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

brands were increasingly exploring hosting a business account and posting content on Reddit to boost the likelihood of their ads appearing in the responses of generative AI chatbots
"exploring" meaning they've been doing it for more than 5 years already and just got another incentive to continue doing so
Prove it Huffman!
And I want to be a millionaire!
… and mined and monetized by AI
Fuck /u/spez
Site as in code or site as in content? Incan believe the former, not the latter
Sounds like a AI saying it. Half of reddits users are bots, mostly ran by AI
Ha ha ha. Spez can be hilarious when he wants to be.
He's an alien trying to act human
