    But Huffman said Reddit was now battling to ensure its users stay at the center of the social network. “Where the rest of the internet seems to be powered by or written by or summarized by AI, Reddit is distinctly human,” he said. “It’s the place you go when you want to hear from people, their lived experiences, their perspectives, their recommendations. Reddit is communities and human curation and conversation and authenticity.”

    As Reddit becomes an increasingly important source for LLMs, advertisers are responding with what one agency chief described as a “massive migration” to the platform.

    Multiple advertising and agency executives speaking during this month’s Cannes advertising festival told the FT that brands were increasingly exploring hosting a business account and posting content on Reddit to boost the likelihood of their ads appearing in the responses of generative AI chatbots.

        Ironically the fact that Star Trek is the one of the only specific media franchises that can maintain an active community on Lemmy explains it.

            It's really wild that the guy who co-founded Reddit is so universally hated by the users.

            Talk about having completely lost touch.

              For me it was a few hours ago. My first profile got banned for "inciting violence" cause I said "fuck trump and Obama". And just got my other account banned for inciting violence but they deleted the comment so I can't tell you what exactly I said, but it's not in my nature to actually advocate for violence.

              I believe I was followed around by some trumptard, cause I'm a pretty out and loud leftist. I'm not going through the trouble of creating another one as I have been using it very infrequently since discovering boost for Android. Plus I don't want to help them pad their numbers, or be at the wim of some ai system that doesn't even read the comment and just auto bans.

                  The ship was never at that port.

                  Reddit was using bots and vote manipulators back to the Digg days, as well as scraping/reposting akin to what 9gag became famous for.

                          If we don’t look for bots, there aren’t any. Sounds more republican every day. If we don’t record covid deaths, there aren’t any.

                            until every single comment and post has a capacha and 3factor behind it, the site will be overrun with bots... and when it does... the frustration will create a wasteland.

                              They were actually doing great combating bots in the past, loved reading their biannual reports on the subject, but after they partnered with AI I don't think there is any benefit of the doubt to give.

                                    If he'd tried to nurture some goodwill, perhaps the users wouldn't so harshly reject all attempts at monetization.

                                    Perhaps then he'd be able to afford yachts that don't look so puny next to those of other social media oligarchs and could go to bed with the satisfaction of having made a profit at least once in his life.
