Any traffic on Reddit or engagement with anything they’re doing is bad. Quit visiting r/place. All you’re doing is padding numbers for their IPO stats.

I think that getting “fuck u/spez” and ads for the competition all over it is a big win, personally. They are getting a bunch of negative press from this.

An investment firm executive will have zero clue about what the hell a spez is, why that’s relevant, what a third party app means, what an API is. If you attempted to start to explain that, they’d just start ignoring your voice as if it were some random noise.

They’ll check the company valuation, their traffic, how much they charge for ads, where they’re located, and will invest or not based on that.

Kinda true but we also know that advertisers can be very picky about having their content displayed next to sensitive content or even profanity. So seeing a guillotine and fuck spez written all over Place on Day 1 was pretty cool

See, I feel that would be a more effective protest… Put advertisers logos in close proximity to something undesirable, post the screenshot with them tagged before it is censored. Similarly the logos of the banks that are underwriting the IPO.
