'FUCK SPEZ': Reddit Users Unite to Turn r/Place Mural Into a Protest
Reddit's collaborative art project seemingly has one overarching message to Reddit's CEO.
Meaningless as long as they continue to use the site/app and give him ad revenue.
Publications like these lower reddit’s future valuations though. I’m not sure whether a two-day uptick in users is worth that. My guess would be that it’s not.
Ribbit
And I wish they did. With all the „fuck spez“ and 3rd party app grief, people do surprisingly little to improve the current situation and link to Reddit alternatives.
Continued protests could drive other users away. If they think the content sucks or is annoying, they'll check the site less and that'll affect reddit.
Love that the French guillotine gets it's own mention 😂
Unfortunately, in the same breath as that mention is them saying erasing that is the work of users. There's enough evidence to suggest it's the admin's handiwork. Some people elsewhere mentioned that those "random" dots do not have a user attached to it.
It all disappeared within a few seconds after no fighting beforehand, and in the absence of an undiscovered 50k pro spez discord server that no one knows about, it's definitely admins. They've gotten much smarter though, using a ton of older accounts as bots rather than editing their personal accounts to have no cool down
