They made ad accounts unable to be blocked a year or so ago so downvote preventing doesn’t seem too wild. It’s why you couldn’t block that Christian account that always posted “He gets you” stuff.
Weren’t they already doing that? I swear, you read some posts and it’s like a PR team is trying to get a story buried. Like after a Leo DiCaprios dating history got air time you started seeing him in more memes the next days, and TILs about how he was a good actor
It seems like a lot of people strip the agency from the women he has flings with. If he is not abusive or manipulative then who cares, they come out the other side with some great stories and experiences that they wouldn’t have if they instead had a fling with a random classmate at college.
Since when do brands want to be known on Reddit? Isn’t the entire point to make a bunch of fake accounts and post positive comments about said brand, to make them look good?
HEY REDDIT, WHAT’S A BRAND YOU’LL BUY FOR LIFE!?
Queue the thousands of totally not brand accounts posting why said product is so perfect and you’ll never buy any other brand again!
Like that disgusting “Samsung AMA” which was just a campaign for their S20-something. They deleted any question that wasn’t basically, “what’s so cool about [this feature] on the S20-something that I’m planning to get?”
They would of course keep their astroturfing accounts unmarked, of course. But they might want a corporate mountpiece account. Like they have on twitter.
ive seen in the nreal, now xreal, sub where having people from the company to talk to about issues helps. im not trying to market anything but just use an example. i doubt thats what they are going for but it can be a positive side effect.
I don’t know why this name is so funny to me. It just seems so much more ridiculous than an evenly named Ryzen 9 79500X3D. Like what, were getting 45 more units worth of a Ryzen 9 7900X3D, but not quite enough units for a Ryzen 9 7982X3D?
I know we have our pitchforks out, but wanted to point out one subtle, but big difference from the article vs the job posting.
The article quotes a base salary of $900,000, however that is incorrect as the number is the Total Compensation, NOT just the base salary. The job posting specifically calls this out.
Regardless, these are very large numbers however the pay mixture could be (and likely is) loaded up with RSU grants, which isn’t “cash” perse.
A base salary of $900K vs total comp of $900K are two vastly different things. Again, acknowledging that either way, these numbers are astronomical.
When you are spending billions of dollars on programs, 1m is peanuts.
If you can speed up a billion dollar program by 1%/improve by 1%, you got your money’s worth.
But people of that tier usually make a much bigger impact.
Anders Hejlsberg, the creator of C# and typescript is a great example.
He created two major modern languages, take typescript alone, there are tens of thousands of developers who work on just the tooling for typescript between eslint, webpack, react, angular, etc.
Reddit doesn’t seem to understand what their platform is for. If people are adding “reddit” to the end of google searches, it shows that they want brands to talk less, and real people to talk more.
It really feels like they presented a road map at the beginning of the year and are sticking to it no matter what, neither looking at their own user base nor what is happening in the world of big social media right now.
