Add Lemmy to Reddit r/place
(feddit.de)
For anyone who still has the reddit app: Lets convert some Redditors to our side by replacint one of the fuckspez to "join-lemmy.org"
Generating views, traffic and content for Reddit is a hopeless way to try to negatively impact Reddit.
Spend that time creating and participating in content here to drive change.
I disagree. The views during /r/place are negligible. Advertising Lemmy and stealing their users: priceless.
Every pixel is another +1 interaction on the site to pump their engagement numbers. Might not be direct views, but they are using r/place to offset the audience engagement losses over the monthly average. Spez is buying time before the summaries hit the board's desks.
I think so. The fact they did this almost certainly knowing exactly what would be made makes it clear. They did this for pure engagement numbers. The saying used to be "Any publicity is good publicity", now it seems it's more like "Any engagement is good engagement".
Exactly. Pump up the site visits and hope that some visitors will even come back again once they see the other content.
sometimes you have to fuel the fire to get it to die down
that sounded way better in my head...
Yeah, let's get people to come here by not telling them about it. Solid plan.
You assume I want the average redditor here.
