Yup I work in software security and I personally know several subreddits that are bought and even more where admins are insiders shilling their own products. Has been the case for years and Reddit doesn’t care.
Well you can’t leave us hanging like that. Which ones?
/r/all
/r/retrohandhelds
I used to also think Cloudflare owned stake in /r/selfhosting.
Holy shit this makes so much sense. I never figured cloudfare was worth using for some simple self hosted services, but whenever I would read about other peoples setups, they would make it seem like it was absolutely necessary, impossible to replicate on your own.
The DDOS protection likely isn’t something you can do, but everything else is just Pangolin and Anubis.
r/SBCgaming is better anyways
The entire /r/SEO subreddit is just one guy, on three different accounts, trying to sell people on his agency, which is one of the weakest ones out there. Competitors are filtered out.
Yup. One of the philosophy subs is obviously doing that. I unsubed.
Big if true!
yup im a forum that does that, ban evaders are doing this too, the ones that have hordes of accounts.
5 years ago now I was offered 6,000$ to sell /r/RSPS. That subreddit had like 100 monthly views. Imagine how much bigger subs go for
I’m guessing it’s harder to secretly sell bigger subs though. Though I bet it happens.
Um… Bezos owns AWS, Zuck has nothing on him as far as ‘owning the internet’.
Bezos does indeed own the Post through a holding company.
I wasn’t saying he didn’t. Just that Meta doesn’t hold a candle to AWS as far as control over the internet.
Ah! Yeah, most people think Amazon the store. They have no clue as to what AWS is up to, probably don’t know it’s a thing.
If you’re not a major player with major scaling needs, can’t see why people stick with AWS. Our spend at my last job was $6 million a year, with an M. Fuck me. Give me $1 million and I could replicate our infra and be just as reliable. And much of that would be a 1-time cost.
Tiny example; I’m paying $15mo. for a LightSail instance to run my PiHole. Why?! Been too lazy to grab a Raspberry Pi out of my box and fire it up. $180 bucks a year and I already have the hardware to run it reliably and locally.
can’t see why people stick with AWS
uses AWS instead of a raspberry pi
I think you see exactly why people use AWS.
been too lazy
Signed up to learn because my company was heavily invested in AWS and I had buckets of money. That’s why.
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, I think I need to give my username up to this guy.
He will probably think it’s something deep in Korean. 😋
Fake and nonbinary
Which sub could this be?
I wanted to sell my reddit account but then it got a scammer badge lmao. Whatever though. I tried.
it got a scammer badge
Why?
From what the mods told me is that I inquired about selling my reddit account so they mark it as a scammer so whoever buys the account won’t be able to do much with it
Oh, so they have an algo checking for keywords in messages and just auto-flagging? Clever… That does make doing business a bit of a pain.
Well. I had no clue that it was frowned upon to be honest. But someone said something about selling accounts I was like “damn I’m at 8 years and almost a million karma”. I found a website of account sellers and my account could have gone for 400-500 dollars at that time.
But! I found out since my ban that a lot of Chinese bot accounts and scam accounts will pay for these high karma reddit accounts so they can bypass a lot of subreddit checks and they can just bot post for a super long time.
Oh well. In the end I got perma banned because I said I wish the shooter was real and shit 2 inches to the right 🤷
“Was real?”
I wish I could make something to earn $12k.
So where was this posted? It looks like X to me, but I don’t use X and never have, so I’m not sure. There are so freaking many platforms, that it would have been nice to include where it was posted.
If it is on reddit, I don’t see any subreddit?Anyways, no matter where it was posted it’s moronic. I wonder if it gains anything for anyone?
These are people talking about gaming reddit on X.
Thanks. 👍
And: Ah yes X the very reliable non manipulative platform with strict rules of decency, no chance they are the “game” themselves. /s
