But Huffman said Reddit was now battling to ensure its users stay at the center of the social network. “Where the rest of the internet seems to be powered by or written by or summarized by AI, Reddit is distinctly human,” he said. “It’s the place you go when you want to hear from people, their lived experiences, their perspectives, their recommendations. Reddit is communities and human curation and conversation and authenticity.”
As Reddit becomes an increasingly important source for LLMs, advertisers are responding with what one agency chief described as a “massive migration” to the platform.
Multiple advertising and agency executives speaking during this month’s Cannes advertising festival told the FT that brands were increasingly exploring hosting a business account and posting content on Reddit to boost the likelihood of their ads appearing in the responses of generative AI chatbots.

Ah ! so when do they roll it back ?
So he wants it to be a huge testing grounds with ai for anybody that uses it, got it.
Use the platform? You are talking with and training AI.
And we’re supposed to take his word for it?
I’m guessing he hasn’t browsed his own site recently then.
Probably nothing there to interest him since they banned /r/jailbait
Maybe he shouldn’t have permabanned all of us power users after the Inauguration. He might have some active humans posting if he hadn’t let the DOGE Goblin intimidate him into firing all of his best posters, the ones who built Reddit into what it was over the past decade. WE were Reddit, not bots, and now we’re gone, and only the bots remain.
Good job, Spez.
they were already on the 4th purge by the time i was permaban in feb, from nov-5th. and then im guessing they switched to using more insidious shadowbans, so people wont notice huge drop in users at once if its done randomly by AI, and shadowbans to alert the accounts that they are banned too.
I’m glad he did, I like Lemmy so much more.
People here don’t commonly wish for your death while insulting your grandmother. It’s peaceful.
I’ve had something close to this coming from the good folks of hexbear when I said I was french. Apparently I am barred from talking about imperialism because of my citizenship
I hope you are enjoying life, and your grandmother is a wonderful lady.
“Trust me!” says yet another capitalist.
…with AI admin and moderation. Anyone who’s been banned from reddit will tell you that, hell it says as much in the message they give you. I was banned once for saying “slava ukraini” which according to my ban was a direct attack at a minority (apparently russians are a minority according to reddit bots) and then another for asking how long before citizens begin shooting at ICE agents which, again according to reddit bots, was inciting violence on a minority (ICE agents are now also a minority according to reddit).
the vast majority of posts and comments are bots. the obvious reposts with misleading titles to generate karma to allow said bots to have enough karma to then post on various other subreddits to push whatever bullshit agenda or product they want to push.
im on the forum where people are doing that, pushing thier products, and businesses. but reddit only went after these users, and not propaganda bots.
I don’t believe him.
Wow, that’s a bit unfair. What has he ever done to show he’s a lying, money grabbing, scummy piece of shit?
Remember how corporations are people? Well, bots can be human if you pay enough.
If we don’t look for bots, there aren’t any. Sounds more republican every day. If we don’t record covid deaths, there aren’t any.
Any text based sub hitting all regularly is full of AI slop and sensational stories. Wouldn’t be like this is Aaron were still around.
no one cares
Starting when?
That ship has sailed.
The ship was never at that port.
Reddit was using bots and vote manipulators back to the Digg days, as well as scraping/reposting akin to what 9gag became famous for.
Anyone who participated in any r(slash)place could tell you this has been a lie for at least a few years.
I know he’s just selling the platform to AI companies, but it’s an odd take considering they’ve been moving away from being a message board and towards being just another content feed for years now.
Looked up some information a bit ago and found Reddit using AI written answer pages to aggregate information. Which- why? The information was already indexed by a search engine, the sole reason I landed on this page. Why are you offering me secondhand, watered down information written by your idiot machine when I can instead read sourced accounts with citations?
It’s interesting to know that you can do this, but I could not care less about a machine’s perspective on what is or is not the prevailing opinion. Moreover, it completely contradicts your stated goal, you perjurious pool of feculence.
They became Facebook 2.0. also interesting they block Facebook and FB as a term now too.

Fuck, can this loser just fuck off into oblivion already?? You got your money pig boi now piss off!
It’s like Zuck. Why do you keep at it? You won already. The answer is that they are deeply flawed people who needed to go into therapy decades back.
Yeah there’s something deeply wrong with them
shitddit ceo is lying
