    Quotes from the original announcement:

    Today, Reddit is the most human place on the internet, and one of the last places on the internet where brands can build authentic, trusted and engaged relationships with customers.

    Bwahaha, “most human”? Really? Wow.

    A scalable, AI-powered social listening tool designed to unlock strategic value

    Barf. Oh boy, “social listening tool” - that’s a new one…

    These are tools for a new era of community marketing, one where brands can tap into Reddit’s authenticity

    Yup, because nothing says “authenticity” like artificially realigned messages interspersed with AI slop ads. Such real, much authentic, wow…

      Today, Reddit is the most human place on the internet, and one of the last places on the internet where brands can build authentic, trusted and engaged relationships with customers.

      That reads like something out of their totalnotrobots subreddit. I TOO LOVE EXPRESSIVE AND AUTHENTIC HUMAN THOUGHTS.

    Because Reddit is a nazi sympathizing, brown shirt wearing shithole for jack booted thugs and fascists. It all started when some cunt at Reddit thought “what if my user base was a product?”, and thus the en-digg-ification of Reddit was complete.

    Fuck that fascist friendly corpo shithole, it belongs in the dumpster next to Digg.

    So they’re going to take what was once the best place for honest reviews and make it shittier.

    Glad they don’t have an API or it would make the internet worse.

    “dynamically integrates positive content from Reddit users directly below an advertiser’s creative, putting community conversations front-and-center in the user experience and blending AI-driven efficiency with real human perspectives”.

    the company is also introducing a “scalable, AI-powered social listening tool. […] Informed by proprietary metadata, it provides precise, real-time insights that help marketers confidently plan campaigns, validate creative ideas, and make smarter business decisions"

    I wonder how much they had to pay a business major to come up with those sentences, or did they just use ChatGPT …

        I mean, that’s at least functional grammar.

        “advertiser’s creative”? The fuck is that? You aren’t cool by dropping the noun out and trying to use an adejective in its place.

          As rediculous as it sounds, “creative” is used as a noun in marketing speak to refer to an image, video, carousel, slideshow, or whatever. I know, it’s stupid.

      I mean this isn’t far from the current state of things. I subscribe to /r/fuckcars an anti-car sub and regularly see car ads. These advertisers are wasting their money.

        All of this spying and data hoarding has resulted in a finely tuned advertising machine that directs car ads to people who specifically hate cars with a burning passion. Peak of targeted advertising.👌

        And people still wonder why I use every means within my disposal to block ads. Even if I allowed ads, they aren’t targeted enough to be much more than an annoyance. Even when they somehow manage to show me something I care about, I’m seeing an interesting product from the highest paying company. It’s not the best product in that category, nor is the one that would serve me best. It’s the one from the company that was willing to pay more than any other. Advertising is just so broken in every way you can think of.

      When I plowed through that kindergarten I didn’t get as much as a single dent. If that isn’t an endorsement, then I don’t know what is.

    Reddit already had ads that appeared in subs that looked like posts with some tiny text saying it’s an ad. This’ll make it even more insufferable. screw Spez
