Jesus Christ Reddit just announce an sdk or that you're working on a way to get ads in third party apps. That would solve everything.
I would not use a third party app with ads, tho. Ads are a curse to the internet
Reading this shit makes my blood boil. Is it too much to ask to not be simmered down to a product instead of a human?
Of course it is
Well now I'm glad I deleted my entire history as well as my account. FUCK THAT. I haven't been on FB, Twitter or any of that other data grubbing bullshit in years.
I might need to address a GDPR delete request.
I just did. We'll see how that goes.
Based on how Reddit keeps data, that'll either make a massive legal overhead while they try to sort out the legal basis for keeping the data, then again for using it with 3rd party advertisers, then again when they're told to delete it after a limited lifespan.
Or, Reddit goes 100% dark in the EU.
Or they completely ignore and it and nothing happens until someone actually sues them and it goes through the courts, which could take years.
I don't have to sue them, in France if someone fucks with my data I can create a case on the CNIL website (the National Comission of IT and freedom) and tell on the idiots.
Then the CNIL takes them on, and brings out the hammer of the law if needed.
What is the seven hells is a "2H activation"?
I can't tell if marketing jargon means something or if they've had to invent a whole new language to avoid noticing that almost everything they do is bad for the people they do it to.
What in the everloving fuck??
