    If you guys really wanted to let Spez know how mad you are you would STOP GOING TO REDDIT… Every time “fuck spez” shows up on this page it just means a bunch of people got on Reddit and boosted their numbers which makes them look more valuable to investors for the IPO.

    Do I really need to remind you that Spez or anyone else who works for Reddit COULD TAKE THIS DOWN AT LITERALLY ANYTIME THEY FEEL LIKE IT?

    Every time you go there and write “fuck spez” I’m sure he goes to sleep crying into the giant pile of money he sleeps on

    I’ll say it once more, if you want Spez to pay DO NOT GO ON REDDIT EVEN TO TELL HIM WHAT A FUCKING ASSHOLE HE IS, THAT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO

      This doesn’t make alot of sense to me. Doubt all that was created by Lemmy users that logged in to reddit-that’s simply Reddit users? Can’t be good for Reddit that this is going on such a large scale. And if nothing else … Great amusement lol

        It only takes a few dedicated people with bots, but it does probably benefit their metrics.

          Trying to convert those metrics into revenue is what started this whole thing in the first place. If they were so effective at turning any engagement to their advantage, we’d still all be engaging there via whatever third party app we were using before they got disabled.

            Have you tried to actually go to r/place? You can’t even view the page on your phone unless you’re using their garbage official app. It’s definitely meant to try and increase app engagement

      At this point it is big enough to gather the interest of the media whether it stays up or gets wiped, and investors watch the media like hawks.
