This along with the new social credit, starting to wonder if Reddit is selling data to China. Say something bad about China or Winnie the Pooh and they at best turn you away, or at worst incarcerate you.
If they are storing a this data anyway to make the thing work (so you can go and un-upvote the thing you upvoted five years ago), how is "privacy" reduced if they also have the as system decide to show you an ad because people who upvoted that thing tend to click on the ad?
No new people or businesses are being given any new information bout anyone. Is it because what used to be a passive database is now starting to think, and your privacy is infringed because the system itself is now looking at you when you didn't expect it to?
whats wrong with personalized ads? is it much different from booking different TV channels for different audiences?
Personalized ads would be fine if it had a checklist or tag/category feature. This is straight up data mining.
gentrification of reddit.
'you will all be replaced by yuppies who dont know what privacy is'
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
