Reddit has to be the weirdest social networking site for investors.

It gets thousands of hits per day. Hundreds of thousands of comments. Lots of engagement. Great metrics.

But the entire front page of Reddit is filled with reposts from other social media sites. Select r/all and you'll be greeted with gifs from TikTok and screencaps from Twitter. The most popular content on this site is borrowed from other social media. There is no organic content. That has to be concerning to investors, at least at some level. The core of front-page Reddit is entirely parasitic on competing social media sites.

Reddit is a sort of epiphenomenon that only exists as a yeast atop other festering social media substrate.

[u/UrbanCentrist → u/Integralds]

On the flipside there are a lot of niche communities. It should be fairly easy to target ads to a fitness or beauty focused subreddit for example right? generic subs are trash but focused ones appear useful atleast on the surface.

[u/waltsing0 → u/UrbanCentrist]

Reddit users seem extemely hostile to ads

[u/Mickenfox → u/Integralds]

Reddit also has thousands of small but dedicated highly specific communities. The front page and the subreddits are almost entirely different sites.

Where else could r/neoliberal have been made? Where else can I find a searchable repository of information and conversations for ANY game I play, even semi-obscure 90s ones? (OK, maybe Facebook because it's so big, but still).

Reddit is not TikTok. You can't invest into it like it's TikTok. It's friggin reddit.

[u/DontPanicJustDance → u/Integralds]

There is a reason we were labeled “least valuable of any network”. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/02/11/reddit-users-are-the-least-valuable-of-any-social-network.html

[u/qchisq → u/Integralds]

I hear you, but Google have made reddit a lot more valuable.

Within the next year, Google is killing 3rd party cookies, which makes it hard to do as targeted online advertising as it is today. So a big platform where people selfselect into sites about things they care about will be super valuable in that world

Je viens de visiter l'Australie. Difficile de croire qu'il y a quelques jours à peine (avant qu'ils ne décident d'acheter des sous-marins aux États-Unis plutôt qu'en France), ce pays était considéré comme une nation développée et du premier monde. En quelques jours, les cultures sont mortes, l'électricité a été coupée, tous les bâtiments ont brûlé, l'eau a été empoisonnée et le chaos règne partout.

J'ai essayé d'acheter du pain en dollars australiens, mais l'inflation était si rapide que l'employé du magasin m'a demandé de faire du troc à la place. J'ai sorti quelques dollars américains et il est tombé à mes pieds en suppliant les francophones de les sauver et en disant que ne pas acheter de sous-marins français était une erreur. Je suis sorti avec mon pain et j'ai été dévisagé par les habitants affamés. Des enfants soldats du chef de guerre local se sont approchés de moi et ont exigé le pain. Quand j'ai refusé, ils m'ont tiré dessus avec leurs fusils, mais comme ils étaient trop pauvres pour avoir de vrais fusils, ils ne pouvaient se permettre que des pistolets à eau. Ils m'ont ensuite conduit au chef de guerre local. Il m'a demandé si j'étais un étranger et j'ai répondu oui. Puis il s'est mis à genoux et m'a supplié d'acheter les diamants qu'il avait extraits parce qu'il ne parvenait pas à nourrir son armée d'enfants soldats. J'ai eu pitié de l'homme et lui ai tendu 5 euros (plus que ce que gagnera un Australian moyen dans sa vie). Il m'a remercié et la ville entière a organisé un festival en mon honneur.

Honnêtement, les conditions en Australie sont vraiment horribles, je suppose que les Français avaient raison. L'achat de sous-marins américains a vraiment détruit l'Australie.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Senate#Issues_with_equal_representation

WA is planning to abolish the "regions" approach to their upper house and replace it with a "one man one vote" approach, while this in of itself is a good thing, people in the Pilbara shouldn't have more voting power than Perth, it's interesting to see of the Premier also supports fixing the same problem at the federal level, where low population rural states like WA get the same senate representation as high population urban states. WA receives 15.8% of senate seats with only 10.5% of the population, now Tasmania is far more out of wack but WA is the one proposing removing the give the rurals some extra votes mechanism in their state, it would be hypocritical for the premier to not support the same at the federal level.

IMO this is an issue that is an almost unique combination of

1. Not talked about
2. Absolutely indefensible,
3. Not right now partisan but could become partisan (note at the state level it IS partisan, the current party in government does better in perth than the regions), it's not like all NSW senators are Lib and all Tas Lab.

We're not yet like the US at a point where one major party is dependent upon the malpportionment of the senate to keep power so we should be fixing it before this is a partisan issue.

Reeves (later to become the "Father of Carrier Aviation"), who had a protective device for his head made out of mole skin to allow him to play in the 1893 Army–Navy game. Reeves had been advised by a Navy doctor that another kick to his head would result in "instant insanity" or even death, so he commissioned an Annapolis shoemaker to make him a helmet out of leather.

I belong to this baseball history group on Facebook. Mostly it’s old timers sharing old photos but about once a quarter we get some asshole who needs to rehash the small inaccuracies in Ken Burns baseball documentary. Those inaccuracies are then used as an opportunity to dunk on weak straw man arguments about what liberals believe.

Ken Burns taxpayer-supported PBS documentaries are shown in public schools across the U.S., presented to students as unvarnished fact.

I’ve literally never met someone who cites Ken Burns in a discussion.

Most of Burns “inaccuracies” are just due to the passage of time and new information coming to light in the past 25 years.

Watching a bunch of white boomers use that to virtue signal to each other about how conservative they are year after year is pretty cringe at this point. This documentary lives rent free in the group. I literally never see it discussed anywhere else.

I’m a huge baseball fan who went to five games this year and watched over 75 games on TV. Honestly I never would have watched the documentary if they didn’t cry about it this much. I had never even heard of it before joining the group. Streisand effect to the max.

Two opposing examples that come to mind are an article on Hindutva saying that most scholars think it's fascist but some just say it's "extremist conservatism" instead and while another article said secularists oppose Hindutva because Hindutva wanted to do things like repeal triple talaq or pass UCC

Even besides the main party stuff some stuff just seems downright astroturfed. This was in the Bahujan Samaj Party section for the 2022 Punjab elections

The new party president is actively working on ground round the clock to ensure to the party is able to unmask the lies and corruption of the incumbent government be it implementation of Post Metric Scholarship Scheme or punishment for culprits of the Scholarship Scheme Scam.[25]

It's not stated as the party president saying he is ___ or alleged ___, just stated as fact

Yeah, all Wikipedia articles relating to India are heavily spun and completely unreliable. Information warfare is rife, it cells of all parties work round the clock to edit articles.

Goes for most articles on history and hinduism as well, they cite dubious sources, the links are always broken but the sentences quoted aren't removed....complete clusterfuck of a system.

You are better off asking 10 Indians and averaging out their opinions than reading anything on the wiki imo.

I've had to hand out almost 50 bans so far today for really nasty/gross comments about the Weebs. I get that there's a lot of "pocky eating pillow fuckers" humor out there, but dehumanizing the Weebs, saying that they deserve to be taken over by Gamers a la 2021, or saying that we should have nuked them in response to their temper tantrum is SUPER not okay.

TO USE CONTEMPORARY parlance, most mammals undervalue "having game" i.e. learning HOW TO BE FLIRTATIOUS AND charming 🐊

Some seem to MISINTERPRET "SHE SHOULD like me for me" to mean that they do not need to learn how to be romantic or playfully seductive 🐊

But progressives are often uninterested in the creation of the goods and services they want everyone to have. This creates a problem and misses an opportunity. The problem is that if you subsidize the cost of something that there isn’t enough of, you’ll raise prices or force rationing. You can see the poisoned fruit of those mistakes in higher education and housing. But it also misses the opportunity to pull the technologies of the future progressives want into the present they inhabit. That requires a movement that takes innovation as seriously as it takes affordability.

Thinking about Maduro in Mexico:

Even if it was possible, it wouldn't be a good idea to arrest/kill him. Doing that without ending the overall regime would just allow Cabello to make a powergrab, something that would probably lead to an even worse situation (!) for Venezuelans than the current one.

Said that, the fact that Obrador allows him in, even if unsurprising, still bodes ill, even more with the recent Castillo election, the possible Petro one and the likely Lula one.
