Sky Bet is a different company to Sky, they set it up and sold it along with the branding rights. But obviously it does create a perception of conflict of interest...

Said pushback didn't really happen in the UK - polling data in favour of lockdowns was insanely popular. It still broadly stopped both before the US did. These campaigns achieved nothing.

The community is not proposing $10 million dollar buyouts. That is literally a joke that if the API has the value Reddit claims (which it doesn't) then they are defacto putting those sorts of valuations on the app. Reddit already bough

The CIA quite possibly/probably still do terrible things, but they probably don't do quite so many batshit insane things any more, just because somebody probably checks the expense reports these days.

You say that but I had multiple "oww, you broke Reddit" messages during that AMA.

No PR professional would have let him answer the Apollo question in the way he did. That made everything much worse.

An almost textbook example of how not to do comms. Insincere, lazy, and easily proven wrong on several fronts, this has absolutely made things worse. There are several major subs on the fence now joining the blackout due to this performance

A single blackout does not preclude further actions. Reddit's adminstration team seem extremely rattled for something they can stand without a problem.

by Mindwipe 3y ago
Reddit admin are bricking themselves to be resorting to telling moderators that they will only make better moderation tools if their subs don't participate, so they clearly don't agree 48 hours is an idle threat.

Not least because we have been doing the courtside view of sports events for what... nearly a decade now? And it's not very compelling compared to proper coverage with camera angles.

Ehh, subs aren't equal, and there are a notable amount of top 1% subs here that will have much bigger effect than others.

Especially when it doesn't actually happen because people tend to lie and compliance levels will be low.

I am somewhat disappointed that the thread below this one is not also called "How to use repetition (2017)."

It was probably because they're not doing the merger in all their markets (at least any time soon), and they need to maintain the old platform and functionality outside the US as a result. Subsequently having two separate codebase was
