Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I’m cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you’d like to see why it’s good news that we found Lemmy.
Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.
Can you TLDR it cause i don’t want to change my DNS rules to allow reddit for this.
TL;DR enshittification. Lots of targeted ads and corporate newspeak.
Thx.
Fuck reddit.
TLDR; remember how you liked putting site:reddit.com at the end of searches for specific product recommendations because it seemed like the last place left on the internet where you can get recommendations which weren’t blatant ads? Well fuck you, we gonna use the question context when choosing ads.
Example: Looking for headphone recs and go to a reddit post? You’re gonna see a headphone ad.
Oh, I assume the majority of us here use ad blockers. This seems like something that won’t effect us
And, if a non adblock user sees these ads, that’s on them. Ad blockers have never been easier to get running
Except they’ll make them normal reddit posts through bots.
Nah, i never did that, when i want to know a product i buy it and if its shit i send it back.
But sound idiotic.
You should check with a doctor to see if they can help with your “I’m just an asshole unprovoked for no reason” problem.

Sound like greedy spez 🐖
Hope he chokes to death on the money knowing not a single person will feel sorry for him.
Cmon, spez has done a lot of good. Nobody else has done more for the growth of the fediverse than he has.
So I am not the only one? :)
Context needed please. Reddit is blocking themselves?
Nope. I’ve seen myself visiting Reddit through Google search a bit too much, so I blocked it in DNS settings just like the other guy.
