News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Reddit has ads? lol block that shit.

They're not listed, but if you really want to know. takes a deep breath

  • The ads are developed by Haven. A Michigan based marketing agency that's also run ads for Focus on the Family and Alliance Defending Freedom.
  • The money comes from The Servant Christian Foundation, but they're more of an intermediary for the next link in the chain.
  • The Signatry, they're a donor advised non-profit that accepts funds from christian billionaires and move it around to various "causes". They're a 501(c)3 so they don't have to report who their donors are. So that's all dark money, but we do know one donor.
  • That's David Green one of the owners of Hobby Lobby. It should both be surprising and not that this shitberg is connected to him.

Haven has spent millions of dollars to advertise on Reddit. That's why the ads have never gone away due to the backlash.

@ them on an actual linkedin account

So what would happen if I sent a thoughtful message about how disappointed I am with the advertiser for sticking with Reddit through these changes. What if I discussed how what’s going on there is a breach of trust against its own content creators and resource providers (us). And that they are devaluing their own product (us & insert advertiser).

Would that be worth anything?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I personally don't think that a message like that would make much of a difference because they won't understand the nuances of the situation that's occurring. All they care about is eyeballs on their product, and avoiding association with unsavory things.

Because of that, I would think that a better tactic would be to talk about how you saw their advertisements in a subreddit with inappropriate content and ask if that was intentional. Asking if it was intentional is a good tactic because it turns it from a report into a question. Even better, word it like "Do you have any comment?" as if you're a reporter writing a story. You don't have to say who you're writing "a story" for, you can just say that you're an independent journalist working on a piece and wanted to get a statement on their choice to place advertising on a service that serves their advertisement next to (give some examples)

With that tactic, you can also skip the standard feedback forms and attempt to contact their advertising arm or PR department.
