The new more edgy five-o-clock shadow Reddit.
…so they got rid of awards in favor of adding arrow shaped awards?
“Supports the creators” makes me think they have a revenue split and they got rid of the old system to prevent people from not knowing the difference
Yeah this also conveniently happens after they made everyone’s Reddit Gold invalid. Pretty damn shady if you ask me.
Need influencers if they are going to IPO
Don’t want to lose money by having to split something people bought a year ago
“supports the creators?” like the person who created the comment gets paid? probably not. I’ve made zillions of witty upvoted comments and I haven’t earned a dime. Where does that money go? Into spez’s pockets.
Supposedly you can cash these golds out if you get 10 of them, at a rate of $1 per gold, as long as you live in the US. I figure that the left-most gild is equivalent to 1 gold, so Reddit is keeping roughly 70% of the money you pay through this system.
Oh great. More incentives for bots to run rampant and rehash old posts and comments…
Maybe its time to start botting on reddit
The “levels” doesn’t even make any sense, a splink of different color?
What a lol.
Yes, but do you see the last one!? It is colorful on the outside and golden on the INSIDE
🖕🖕🏻🖕🏼🖕🏽🖕🏾🖕🏿
I appreciate your commitment to inclusion.
Hatred of reddit is accepted by all
“Fingering supports the contributors you love.”
Remember to always tip your celebrities for promoting whatever dumb projects on on your Internet forums, god knows we could use the money.

THAT WAS SARCASM
Yeah but can we get back to talking about I Don’t Even Remember The Name Oh Wait Rampart
You mean Barbie, right?
Because my movies are the only commercial interests permitted on Lemmy. Look at the banner of this community!
AMAs aren’t just marketing, now they’re money makers themselves!
It’s honestly pretty insulting.
They could hardly make it more explicit that reddit is profiting off content members create.
I’m not one for circle jerking but reddit is objectively becoming a shittier platform
I feel like all of them kinda are
Youtube and Discord conveniently added user tags for no reason literally the moment Twitter went down the already pretty deep hole.
Twitch’s favorite pastime is making bank on “unrelated” content
Facebook is just Facebook
Reddit has been constantly losing its appeal every year ever since they moved off the old layout.
Everyone adding/changing things in some meager attempt to drive profits and value without considering effects of user loss because social media is such an oligopoly it doesn’t matter.
Hiroshima has completely given up on ever making 4chan profitable, so it’s still full of porn and casual racism.
Hiroshima has completely given up on ever making 4chan profitable, so it’s still full of unfiltered organic discussion, porn. funny shitposting and couple of unobtrusive banner ads.
As low-brow as it can get, 4chan is still part of the solution, unlike plebbit.
Reddit really has become everything that Reddit used to hate.
Love the desperate grab for revenue prior to IPO.
Too bad the ransomware is getting leaked as soon as they announce the IPO date.
Spez, you done played yourself.
Go on…
“prior to ipo” for the last four(teen) years
When I used to have gold to gild, I would always give it to the stupidest comment, like the most childish shit ever, if you had a poop joke or something, I’d give you gold, most of the time people would join in and gild the dumb comment.
Man if I’d have found this out back then I’d have ranted at you for ruining reddit.
That was before reddit ruined reddit
Fuck all that Reddit shit
Wait are they charging people for upvoteing
It’s what the old gold used to be. They rebranded it and added a tiny incentive for content creators (like a dollar per gold, regardless of the level of gold, once you reach a certain karma level)
Really it’s just shittier reddit gold and another way reddit is trying to make money off of colorful arrows
Turning Reddit into a career
A repost bot’s dream
Imagine the person (or more likely a whole group) who has spent weeks designing and iterating over those arrows.
More likely 30 minutes in the evening after playing games all day and working for someone else lol
No way…. Splez is watching
This is off topic, but why isn’t there an animated gif of Bugs Bunny saying the “NO”? I mean, we have animated gifs for almost everything else, but I only see this as a static pic. Can no one find the cartoon that this is from and create a gif from it?
It is because the cartoon in which the frame is from he doesn’t actually say no. The frame is taken just after he chugs a whole bottle of “Hare Tonic” https://youtu.be/uuKiqu3g_sE
Okay, that makes sense. Maybe it’s the Mandela Effect, but I swear I remember a cartoon where Bugs says “No” similar to how he’s shown in the still. Maybe not (?).
I’m pretty sure Bugs says no like we’re imagining a few times, but never with a nice crisp close up like this.
Wow, I had no idea this is what it’s from! It took a few minutes for me to get the exact frame, but when I did, it was obvious. Thanks!
It’s super not obvious to me when the frame happens.
What’s the time mark for the frame?
At about 0:30, just before Bugs brings the bottle to his lips. It’s rotated from the original head-back position, which is why the video is rotated.
I was thinking it had to be a moment like that, but couldn’t quite catch it.
Appreciate the assist!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Musk must have come up with the idea. Wait, there’s no $4.20 option, so maybe not.
Well clicking #69 was a little NSFW
First time I’ve noticed a hashtag as a Lemmy user.
Mine didn’t create a clickable link, did it?
It did not, you’re right.
Kbin & Mastodon only I suppose.
What a bunch of scumbags
But I don’t love reddit
