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’

        Don’t know what else to tell you /s

        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.

        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.
