    Oh come on, they want some of those FB billions. Of course they’re going to do shady shit like this.

      I find it ironic how they claim about not being profitable. How many millions of dollars did they spend on various developers salaries to build this unwanted feature?

    Yet another feature stolen from Facebook/Twitter. The “pornbot nag”.

    I’ve never even known you could follow someone. I’m an Old-Reddit-only user, is this a New Reddit thing?

      Unfortunately :/

      I get about 2-3 of these fake follow requests per day in the official Reddit app.

      I had the official app installed alongside Sync. Finally deleted the official app today.

        I was getting these but found out if you dig thru the settings you can turn it off…but it was in some strange place I think. Granted since then the site has somewhat imploded…

        I wonder how I’ve managed to avoid this. Maybe because my profile isn’t set to NSFW?

    I knew reddit was going to shit when I started getting follows like this. I just didn’t think that it would be so soon lol
