This is the third attempt they’ve made to work with that guy that actually got routed to me because their salespeople don’t do their due diligence. Shocking.

Edit; a little extra context: I have an email alias on a domain similar to one he might use, and regularly receive email addressed to him. Reddit marketing folks reached out in a less cookie cutter manner a couple times last year, this is more of a mailing list outreach attempt.

90% of Reddit are bots

Their coding says 'trust=1'

Yeah, I haven't trusted Reddit in 10 years lol. Redditors? Actually I suppose I also haven't trusted them in 10 years lmao

I used to trust Redditors and explicitly used it to research products and services to purchase. But that was before all the bots took over. And now Reddit has taken away moderation controls so I can only assume those bots have gotten worse.

Pre, or post the API debacle?

[-] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I trust reddit to fuck up. So far that trust has been well placed.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

That might be accurate. Everyone else already left Reddit. It's just 90% of what's left.

Whatever survey they used to get that number was probably about something like how if you google for information about a product or service you'll get spam garbage, but sometimes if you add "reddit" to the search you will get non-garbage information (which is true). No way people would be answering that way if the question was clearly about trusting Reddit the company.

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.
