So traffic is back to normal but ad clicking is way down? Have they not figured out how to make their bots click the ads?

MODERATORS
Traffic to the page for people to buy ads is down. This has been the trend for the past week or so. People are still using reddit, but companies aren't looking to advertise on it.
Literally watchredditdie
They're trying hard to make it like this is some issue about moderators, but they're just the most vocal group complaining about reddit trying to lock down its entire service for monetization and harming all users (and especially vulnerable users) in the process. Always be mindful of people trying to shift the focus like that.
They're ramping up bots to cover the loss of users.
Very very few people actually post, and a little more comment. But as bot posts became the majority, lurkers are going to start leaving as quality dips.
Just vile
This seems intentional at this point...
Next thing you know, we’ll be hearing that Huffman has hired Linda Yaccarino to be the new CEO….
Haha! Yeah, fuckin' Linda, amirite?
Should I know who Linda Yaccarino is?
The new Twitter CEO, who we know is really just there to take the fall for Musk's bullshit decisions.
You can't monetize sincerity. Once you monetize it, sincerity and the trust that comes with it evaporate.
Oh that'll stop the problem. If limited threats resulted in people leaving then even more threats will bring people back! Solid logic.
