News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
That's some really "spez"ial thinking process right here.
... seriously ... any site that greets me with pop-ups like "we noticed you're using an adblocker" and stupid captchas and the like gets closed immediatly, and if I need to subscribe / join just to read what some rando on the internet wrote 6 years ago then I'm just going to look for that info elsewhere. Does spez really think that reddit is so incredible and awesome that people would WANT to log in / create an account when confronted with this bullsh*t?
Reddit has had a pop-up for years afaik on mobile, always pushing their app.
It was an option. Now mandatory.
Is OP sure it is not a byproduct of NSFW protests. As it was mandatory for nsfw subs and now some seemingly sfw are set nsfw as mods can't mod without tools or as protest whatever your take.
Yes I am sure it’s not the case. Ironically, they show the thumbnail.

Yeah, I understood they were talking about pop-ups generally but I guess not.
I would nope out too.
I believe he wanted reddit to get traffic through the app to collect data and avoid ad blockers.
I take it a step further and put it on my block list.
Unfortunately, you're atypical. Most people do put up with all the bs that coming from all corners of the web these days. Even Reddit, with all its blackouts and protests, still has most of its users watching ads on their app. They don't care if it's quality content.

@deleted @justlookingfordragon most people will never make a Reddit account. That’s the typical Reddit user. Those folks will never install the Reddit app.
When Reddit makes a google search like “bicycle review reddit” stop working a huge part of Reddit’s utility will stop existing.
I don’t think spez will rate limit google bots until after Reddit’s IPO.
Correct.
Regardless of blocking google bots, google would lower their ranking once the bounce rate increases.
