If that gets verified as true it will be exciting to see how many people don’t want to put their personal content on the platform.
Does anyone still go to those other websites that watermark their content like ifunny.com or some place dumb like that?
There were years there when any watermark from another site would get OP lynched in the comments, and now Admin over there is sufficiently out of touch they’re going to start doing it to their own content.
Bets are on that this is a stupid kneejerk test from Reddit, worried that post-migration community hubs are going to “profit from their content” the same way Reddit did to places like ifunny or 9gag during it’s entire growth arc.
They’re also trialing blocking access on mobile if you use a web browser. I swear, they are really trying to run off the old user base.
It can’t be long before they trial actively blocking ad blockers, and then ditching old.reddit.
So what will be left of Reddit? What’s the point of trying to turn it into 9gag? They can’t be that removed from reality.
People always talk about sites blocking ad-blockers, and I’m sure sites are trying to, but I’ve genuinely never been to a website where ublock origin failed to work. Like, even if there’s a big banner over the screen you can’t dismiss, just open the ublock zapper tool and block the banner
Congratulations, Huffman, for finding another way to keep content creators off your site.
To quote one of the great orators of our time, Nathan Diaz - " I’m not surprised "
Ahh, so they’re the new 9gag?
It shows that they’re worried.
