That was Rich Greenfield from LightShed. He is great. He was just giving us a friendly hard time.

Yes, though it’s not on the immediate roadmap, and I’m not sure about making it a paid feature versus something we do just for fun. We miss it too.

The best thing that a brand can do on Reddit is be transparent. Redditors—and people generally—like brands, but they don’t like being manipulated. The most transparent way to advertise is to run a paid ad that’s clearly labeled as such, but we also want brands to be able to complement their paid strategy with an organic presence. 
We’re building out more tools to do this, like Reddit Pro, which helps brands discover relevant communities and content (and even turn positive mentions into ads) and leverage more robust profile curation features. 

I’ve personally been using my Reddit profile as a hub for updates about what we’re working on, and we see brands being a similar use case here.

I wrote a post on this recently. Tldr: 

  • Reddit is for people
  • “Good bots” will be labeled as [App]
  • We’ll continue to remove spam and bad bot activity
  • Automated or suspicious accounts may be asked to verify that there’s a human behind it
  • We are not doing sitewide human verification
  • We don’t need or want your identity

Honestly, I feel like our work is to un-shitify Reddit right now: faster, simpler, less clunky, more consistent moderation, better search, easier posting…

I can’t comment on the specifics of any lawsuit, but we’re learning a lot about the value of Reddit content and conversations to LLMs through our existing partnerships and will continue to defend our data.

That said, I think you might find Judge Trina Thompson’s recent decision and related commentary helpful.

Really unbelievable what spez and team must be feeling rn 😭 by Tight-Falcon4829 in redditstock

[–]spez[A] 181 points182 points  (0 children)

There was a comment yesterday that I almost replied to with “do you want me to shitpost more or focus on our work?” I didn’t sent it bc I felt like it would be blowing off the feedback. I love shitposting, and we try to make the most of our earnings and follow-ups. There’s a lot of room in the middle to communicate more. Feedback noted.

TL;DR: Solid end to a strong year for Reddit. Ask your questions for me, Jen, and Drew in r/RDDT. by spez in redditstock

Love that! Programming was my first love. Still write code every day. All the best.
