I have already said this multiple times in different threads, but I think the protestors took entirely the wrong approach here.
The only thing that genuinely scares companies whose primary business model is ads is content that is not considered "brand safe". Posting such content, particularly on subreddits where it doesn't belong, would have been a far more effective strategy IMO. Filling the frontpage with porn, slurs, racist memes, made up slanderous stories about the most common Reddit advertisers and other such junk would have forced Reddit's hand.
- callalex 3y agoIt’s just a website. Doing all this plotting and scheming takes a lot of effort. Not going to a website because it sucks takes no effort.
- _ink_ 3y agoThey did this, tho. Many subs did suddenly allow nsfw content. It was very effective. Reddit Corp needed to remove the mods of those subs and replace same with ones that would implement ad friendly rules again. It really showed that the mods are not free in how they run their subs.
- tensor 3y agoMany subs did this and the mods got removed real quick. I did the only thing that I could do that actually hurts them, delete my data.
- bobsmooth 3y ago>slurs, racist memes Reddit has spent a lot of time cultivating a community that would not accept that, even ironically. Any attempt at using "racist memes" to fight the admins would get shutdown by the powermods real quick.
