Interesting prediction

To be fair, I wiped out the custom CSS with RES when I was on there.

Couldn't stand every subreddit thinking it was cute to change random styling for no reason. It was like the old custom myspace page days.

Reddit narrowed its net loss during the second quarter to $10.1 million, from $41.1 million a year earlier. Revenue, meanwhile, climbed 54%, to $281.2 million. Analysts expect the company to turn a quarterly profit in the next year or so, boosted by more targeted advertising, as well as revenue from data-licensing agreements with companies including Google and OpenAI.

Thanks for the highlight.

As much as I despise them, that's actually impressive. I wonder how long it will last.

Investing in Reddit is a mistake second only to using Reddit.

The bots can inflate the use of reddit. It's the ol' computers-are-more-active-than-humans-on-the-internet thing.

They become less relevant by the day.

These archive.ph images never load for me in any of the Lemmy clients.

They're not images, they're articles. You have to click on the link to read the article. @Blaze@feddit.org

Do you think they will have a bunch of traffic then lose it?
