Remember when reddit was people oriented?

So 2013-2014? Lol

We need games to be more “gaming” and less “cinematographic, ultrarealistic movie”.

panda_paddle , to technology in AMD unveils its first laptop processor with 3D V-Cache

Can’t wait to read the Userbenchmark review telling me why this chip is actually garbage and how only idiots buy AMD.

notepass ,

"When using all 16 cores at a TDP of 5 watts, it is actually a lot slower then the core i3-1969UwU, making it pretty useless for battery operation. Consider buying an intel CPU.

FinalRemix ,

I’m an idiot that’s only ever had problems with Intel. Weirdly, same with AMD/ATI graphics. Only AMD CPU/APUs and GeForce GPUs for this idiot, here.

Every fucking social media company wants to be the same thing. It’s boring as shit.

It’s all in prep for the pump and dump when it IPOs.

Further proof that Reddit is committed to copying every stupid decision that the Muskrat makes.

Spez loves Musk after all, can’t take his head out of his ass.

WarmSoda ,

Come on, that’s just mean. He obviously doesn’t have his head up Musks ass. His teeth would never be able to fit in there.

I guess there will just be a bunch of verified accounts running around doing “organic” marketing for their latest projects now.

Boy, I am sure glad nobody has ever done that on Lemmy before.

DoctorTYVM ,

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

spacedancer ,

They were/are. They’re just making it official now.

everythingsucks ,

Just saw a post by Bloomberg and u/Bloomberg has a little green checkmark by their name.

TILs about how he was a good actor

Academy Award sigh winning character actor.

iegod ,

I mean he’s quite memable and he’s a great actor so not sure why both things can’t happen…

DoctorTYVM ,

They can. It’s just that it happens suspiciously often after there’s a surge in his negative images

    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.

    yeah. they’re called “ads”

    aquarisces , to technology in Reddit is testing verification labels for brands

    That’s cool, I think a lot of us here would label Reddit as verifiably stupid.

    moobythegoldensock , to technology in Reddit is testing verification labels for brands

    Good for them?

    VonReposti , to technology in Reddit is testing verification labels for brands

    The only way I can believe Reddit is this stupid is if investors are holding a gun to their head and demand profitability.

    Rentlar ,

    If they weren’t before, they would be after an IPO.

    postmateDumbass ,

    What are they raising capital for?

    Why IPO without an expansion into new markets that requires funding?

    There is no growth on the horizon for reddit that justifys overpaying for ownership at IPO prices.

    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.

    It’s almost impressive.

    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.

    cassetti ,

    no no no, they don't want you to use google. They want you to use Reddit search instead, because it's so awesome!

    gravitas_deficiency ,

    They put the same amount of time, effort, research, and engineering into Reddit search that they put into the official Reddit app!
