1 year agoFor sure, I also can’t believe reddit has much intrinsic value when it’s botted/astroturfed to oblivion… I think that tech savvy investors are aware of these issues and may just end up shorting the stock. No matter what someone’s making money off of this.
Hm, I never really thought of it that way. In general I agree with what you’re saying.
Thinking about it more, maybe one way to stay profitable while avoiding egregious privacy violations through ads/monetizing user content would be to offer a subscription service? You would need to have a critical mass of paying users, but it could work… just wouldn’t be very profitable I guess. Probably would have some logistics issues too.
