Connecting ads masquerading as posts to bot posts shilling the same crap, got it

How better to celebrate the 2-year anniversary of Rexit?

So they’re going to take what was once the best place for honest reviews and make it shittier.

Glad they don’t have an API or it would make the internet worse.

This wouldn't be an issue if Reddit always attached relevant posts, including negative ones even if those were the minority, to actually help people make a more informed judgement about an ad based on community sentiment, but I think we all know that won't be the way this goes.

Posts will inevitably only be linked if they are positive, or at the very least neutral about the product being advertised, because that's what would allow Reddit to sell advertisers on their higher ROI. The bandwagon effect is a real psychological effect, and Reddit knows it.

Thankfully, there’s Lemmy. Makes me appreciate it even more when I read stuff like this.

I wonder how far you can push this? Like there was a whole subreddit (can't remember the name) that was dedicated to news that seems positive on the surface but is actually fucked up when you take 2 seconds to think. Could you just get chatgpt to come up with a way to positively frame the worst shit specifically to bait adds next to it?

The APIcalypse.

Spez needs to fund his spezial needs somehow

Are you thinking of r/orphancrushingmachine? There’s a c/orphancrushing here on Lemmy.

"dynamically integrates positive content from Reddit users directly below an advertiser’s creative, putting community conversations front-and-center in the user experience and blending AI-driven efficiency with real human perspectives".

the company is also introducing a “scalable, AI-powered social listening tool. [...] Informed by proprietary metadata, it provides precise, real-time insights that help marketers confidently plan campaigns, validate creative ideas, and make smarter business decisions"

I wonder how much they had to pay a business major to come up with those sentences, or did they just use ChatGPT ....

Spez uses his doomsday bunker as a cat sex dungeon.

Basically this means nothing will happen, because Reddit is the most negative space in the world.

May the api access rest in peace

Ah, Vertical Integortion.

As a single mom, it's hard for me to be proactive about my kids' health, but I have to say that Cerave cream has been a GODSEND for treating the scratches and blisters they get at work.
