Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.

Do you think people are buying it, though?
I've never seen so much cynicism against all things controlled media as I see today?You're in a nice bubble, I see lots of people buying the Russian propaganda shit.
-
I understand we are sliding in that direction. My point is, once there, its harder to keep that regime alive.
How many people are okay with what Israel is doing? Or Russia? Or (now) the US? Despite the propaganda and censoring all over the internet, not many. Most people aren't buying it.
Once you're inside, the propaganda is all you get. See people in Russia and China. The repressions become draconian and people just go on with their lives in fear of losing them. With today's tech, I think fascism is actually easier to keep up.

I respectfully disagree. Cultural backgrounds also play a role and Russia and China have never known democracy.
Fascism in practice (not as a demented dream) is a harder sell in the West although we're not immune to it and we should 100℅ remain vigilant and fight it's grown at all costs.

The gloomy sentiment around Reddit Inc. has failed to dissipate after its shares fell 50% from a February high, with volatile technology stocks under pressure.
Fuck reddit , its becoming weird being on there ... its feels off , like you're in an uncanny valley not knowing if you are taljing to a bot , a person or a troll

I think you're also in a bubble though.
Which is why I'm talking about people who aren't terminally online degenerates like us.
People who are largely apolitical, like my friends and family, none of them is supporting Russia.
I even went to a few protests in front of the Russian embassy. Would you be surprised to know that there were exactly zero protests in front of the Ukrainian embassy in Russia's defense?

I see the fall of big social media into fascism as a big problem, despite the fact that it makes them less popular. The nazis are actively destroying spaces for communication of opposing opinions. They don't mind the medias are harmed by that. The important thing is that what remains becomes a fascist echo chamber. Most normal people won't be able to find alternatives like lemmy, so it makes the numbers of people with opposing views who are able to communicate smaller with every fall of a medium, social or other.

What West are you talking about? Fascism sensu stricto was invented in the West.

I'm definitely in a bubble, not in a terminally online one though. I'd say I exist in two sphears that don't overlap personally, rather spacially around me. One of them is an intellectual bubble that is overwhelmingly but not to a 100% full of people who oppose fascism of any flavour. The other one is a manual labourer or simple job worker bubble - I see a lot more diversity there, many people falling for different kinds of propaganda, superstition, fearmongering. Some of those are already hardcore nazis, some of them are sympathizers in some ways. They usually get informations from the TV, newspapers and friends, partially online as well - mostly Facebook.

I'm talking the West that had Mussolini hanged upside down out on the public square once fascism was put to practice. The same west that had Hitler and his peers put a bullet to their heads, once their ideology was implemented.
Yes, these ideologies were invented in the West, doesn't mean we accept them wholeheartedly once they are implemented.

That's fine, I'm not gonna disagree with this, however I don't see these people as a large, organized group that is bigger than the anti-Israel, anti-Russia status quo.

From TV, really? Maybe if you're talking about Fox News... That sort of TV doesn't exist in most European countries, Thankfully.
From the internet though yeah, i agree. But again, these aren't apolitical people at that point, if you're getting so involved in political discussions like that.

Please stop smoking the drapes. We are in the rise of massive fascism worldwide - I literally don't understand how you could make such a statement.
Is it fascism or corporatism?

Lol I sold mine in January. I'm fucking Warren Buffet.
I’m fucking Warren Buffet
That’s an expensive habit, no wonder you sold your stock.

So I work in advertising for a company that is top 20 on the Fortune 500. We advertise everywhere including Reddit.
The returns on Reddit isn't even very good. We still spend money there as a pure name recognition play.
As of now, for the company I work for, it's not working.
Running the elevator on the Death Star, eh?

Those NSFW communities will have their culling, mark my words. The more fringe it is the more at risk it is. If reddit keeps NSFW it will end up like Lemmynsfw. Maybe even less interesting. With this stock dip Reddit has to be thinking about it.
I don't doubt it, so I'm drinking my fill while I can.

Good. As shitty as they've been and as hostile as they've become to their own users, I'd live little more than watching the entire damned things crash and burn. More (but still not very) likely though is them desperately selling off before it completely self destructs. Of course if they do sell it, whoever they sell to will likely either make things worse or just shutter it. Most likely they'll stay the course and continue hemorrhaging usefulness and thus popularity.
Any way you read the cards Reddit is in a tailspin that they seem unwilling to do what is necessary to pull out of. Which is to say, they're too stubbornly idiotic to reverse their stupid, stupid changes and make a more open, user friendly, and community friendly platform. And I don't see Spez being that smart.
There’s still plenty of blood to drain out of that corpse, just like facebook. They’re a punchline to anyone who knows the internet, but a staple of boomers now. Thing is, shoveling ai slop with ads to ignorant boomers has proven to be quite profitable.

Good, hopefully spez will get what's coming to him. He really ran the site into the ground.

I just don't understand why a person would choose to invest in Reddit. What exactly is the value proposition here?

Just avoid the political instances , especially ones of .ml
I use Boost and the topic keyword blocker works really well. I've got a lot of political words blacklisted and it's made browsing All much more pleasant.

Incels are quite overly sensitive when it's a women talking about violence against women by men, they brigade and try troll people. Askedddit also banned me, for because the sub was asking something about an actor, and I was explaining how a Star Trek actor made the show about herself( Beverly crusher) people don't like how their holy trek role model was criticized
Aren't those kinds of decisions made in the writers' room, though?

We'll see. I hope you're right. I'm just less optimistic.
