    Reddit has benefited from Google search updates and internal site improvements that have helped it gain a significant amount of new and returning users, which the social company refers to as logged-out users, over the past year and a half. Reddit has said it is working to convince logged-out users to create accounts as logged-in users, which are more lucrative for its business.

    Expect to see more login paywall bullshit from Reddit.

      The best way to increase the usage base of a social media site is to block people from accessing it. Everybody knows that.

          I was “suspended” (by the admins, from the whole site – not just banned by mods from a particular subreddit) because I accurately reported misinformation in r/conservative and the snowflake mods whined that it was “report abuse.”

            Once you understand how reddit admins are basically mods themselves it kind of makes sense. The company has hired lots of power mods over the years that don’t “respect the human”. And the forces that be want to continue profiting from volunteer mods’ free labor. It says a lot more about the individual reddit admins that they make the lazy decisions they do.

          I suggested Ukraine started attacking back at Russian civil infrastructure after Russia attacked a shopping mall.

          Spez did not like that one bit, since he’s a Russia supporter.
