If the performance weakness continues for a week or two, the agency would start recommending decreasing spend with Reddit or directing it to other platforms.

After the blackout, we will be closely monitoring user behavior on Reddit and guide clients when we can unpause,” said Freddy Dabaghi, managing director at Stagwell-backed Crispin Porter Bogusky, which has asked clients to stop campaigns, depending on their client goals.

I mean. We’re all here. No idea how many people will actually stay, but I hope It’s enough. I like the change

I can only talk for myself. Since yesterday I lurk on Reddit but don’t really engage with it anymore other than that.

As soon as Apollo is gone, even that will go away. I don’t know if I will stay on Lemmy, only time will tell even tho I hope so. But my active days on Reddit are ending right now.

Honestly, regardless of what happens, I have no plans to go back. Lemmy’s been a refreshing breath of fresh air.

It really is, there isn’t as much content as reddit and that may or may not change but the lack of people acting like they are better than everyone makes it well worth it. I deleted the app and won’t go back

I also like it more and more, especially since more communities are popping up and they get more populated.

I wish the acronym CPM was defined. Maybe I overlooked it.

Cost per thousand. They don’t define it, because it’s a common metric in advertising.

The constellation of thousand, mille and million will probably confuse people until the end of time.

This is really nice, if the protests start to hurt their bottom line, they are going to be much more inclined to listen. I didn’t expect these blackouts to do something.

Or even better, fire the MBAs who came up with the stupid idea in the first place

3rd-party devs recognized that paying for API access is reasonable, but they rightfully objected to the pricing.

The Internet is moving towards a subscription-based model, mimicking the one it opposed at the beginning. Or to put it more succinctly: app subscription are the new bills.

Guess I should have worded better. I actually like subscription-based membership if it means we remove advertisements and data collection/sales. I personally think spez is lying about reddit not being profitable. They are probably raking it in via ad sales and selling harvested data.

If I were world dictator I would just make advertising illegal. It’s the perfect dictator move. Simple policy that’s hard to enforce which will almost certainly have unintended consequences. But God damn do I hate advertising.

You ever though about where the money from advertisers comes from? I would pay for Google if I would then pay less for products that waste money on “marketing” by paying millions to Google.
