- Arkhaine_kupo 3y agoThat used to be the case, but they heavily slowed down the site (back in the day the front page was different every hour, it now changes like once a day or so) What they want is lots of comments and little to no nfsw. Aka the metrics that are easy to sell to advertisers and to IPO with. You can see every action taken through the lense of "does it affect IPO price" and understand almost all their choices. And because it is so transparent, its almost offensive when you consider their entire moderation happens with free workforce. All the mods see 0 benefit from the increased traffic, increase polarization and stalled content refresh that the website pushes, they get more work, less tools and more abuse but the IPO price is gonna make the owners rich
