The secret elite are pulling those stock market levers and turning those stock market knobs again. The "small money" people using Questrade need to save us all! /s
Can I donate my old account to some bots?
That’s when they perma banned me, your welcome
Carrying the feed 💪
Zoom on how the stock market liked the decision to kick out all the lurkers:

also the new reddit UI, if you arent using any of the apps like redlib, or a reskin extension, is very cumbersome and unsable.
Redlib is also now unstable with rapid depreciation of rss feeds and old reddit. New community forks approach seems to be webscraping or using cookies like nitter.
Not to mention reming the ability to view /all
Russia gets its biggest refinery blown up, Reddit stock tanks, I did some coke, this has been a great Halloween.
It is going dooown dooown 🎶

It sucks to suck, Spez, you greedy pig boy.

Requiring login is going to limit their ad revenue.
Unfortunately, the login will just improve the personalization of ads.
I am guessing they did the math and this came on top
Don't overestimate their intelligence.
Actually, do yourself a favour and listen to their q3 earnings report. These are some extremely cringy nerds with no value outside of having their forum become viral for being somewhat usable. Its obvious they have no idea what made Reddit usable and are trying to pivot into a live-service-esque walled garden.
They keep talking about making Reddit "Awesome", with more "interactive lived experiences" (actual quotes by spez during the earnings rep, I would have sold too.
Cringy nerds is an understatement. They all think they’re Adonis ubermen and cannot stand even a few moments where they’re not aggressively huffing their own farts. They’re fucking losers. Fucking. Losers. Every single one of them.
I’m so tired of such fucking losers dictating our lives. It needs to stop. Nothing would make me happier than their shitty website just imploding. But that won’t happen now that we exist on a bot based economy.
All the nerds are gone. It's just wallstreet Bros now
And whatever unholy amalgam spez is
It'll improve the personalization of ads that are shown to bots, but all the people have left.
I don't know, every time google sends me to Reddit now and I see a login page I don't bother looking. Probably won't find anything useful inside anyway

There's only 1 solution: Persona
Also google Play Integrity API, shutting down old.reddit.com for some reason and blocking all browsers except Chrome and Safari. Also retinal scans for new accounts, karma farming bots only allowed for old accounts with stolen credentials, and blocking anyone who refers to war crimes against Palestinians as genocide.
Also, a new helpful AI assistant called Reddy that replaces interacting with other users and recommends products and collects user data.
googles is in cahoots with reddit, if they want that data, they expect reddit to keep producing new AI-scrapable content.

Allowing nerds to ban your customers for even simple disagreements or using language they don't like... probably wasn't a smart business strategy
I'm guessing a lot of the modding is also AI shit these days to stop people from mentioning topics that advertisers don't want, like israel and anything too "violent" like protests.
reddit gave AI tool for "Crowd control" and modding to moderators. i also heard they are limiting reporting on people to at the same time, i dont how that will work though.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
It's pretty wild watching AI destroy it's own mother.
That was always the plan.
1: Steal all the data.
2: Destroy the data sources.
3: Rent access to the data that only you now posses.
Funny: Home of the Haha
