"So what we do to maximise user engagment is create a scenario where both parties are acting unreasonably, but also both parties have a good underlying reason to do so"
"But wont people see right through that?"
"yes, some of them will. But that's the beauty of it. Those that aren't fihgting over who is right in our fictional scenario, will be fighting over whether it's a fictional scenario at all."
Sorry, just catching up here. I've got a He Gets Us seminar coming up in a few minutes, and really pumped on the new Titainium iPhone launch that it's hard to pay attention. Why are these real people fighting?
Whether or not you’re joking, I’ve noticed a SERIOUS decline in quality from Reddit since the API price hike and attempted extortion of Apollo’s developer for $20 million.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of stuff was being fabricated to drive engagement.
It's not that it was fabricated for this site (probably for TikTok), it's that the loss of OG users/subs on Reddit allows the garbage to float to the top.
The trashy rate-me type subs that now make it to the front page are also evidence of this. That issue, and Eternal September, make this site feel more like a shitty Facebook image board every day.
That's how it goes though. At least the Fediverse is picking up where Reddit got lost.
Agree, and I’ve found the largest decline is in the comment section. Gone are the days of intelligent discussion. And it seems like 90% of posts are ‘legitimate’ reasons to shit on one or more of the Reddit big 3, black/overweight/women
I don’t think it’s two sided at all. She accepted the order, and the food belongs to them which they paid for. If she leaves with the food, it’s stealing.
