increase is the protest posts

Posts are posts, clicks are clicks, all grist for the mill. From the article:

"traffic is up in subreddits expressing their discontent with photos of Oliver. Traffic to r/pics, for example, is up 564% compared with last month, while traffic to r/Aww is up 152%"

pretending they were community-moderated.

Unless you remember electing your mods, "community moderated" simply means "we don't pay the jannies, they literally do it for free lol!" It was never about the "community" having a voice.

And it works, see /u/delcake's comment.

They’re essentially claiming ownership of the user submitted content by doing that.

Reddit reserves all the rights to everything you post ("When Your Content is created with or submitted to the Services, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, etc., etc.), but you alone are responsible for it ("Because you alone are responsible for Your Content, you may expose yourself to liability if you post or share Content without all necessary rights.").

Not a lawyer, so not sure how enforceable reddit's ToS is, but the TL;DR (as I read it) is "you're responsible for everything you post; reddit owns it."

double post, sorry, delete doesn't seem to work

That means all the the CP, hate speech — and in this case, piracy — that are posted on Reddit are Reddit’s responsibility.

Of course not, from reddit's ToS: "By submitting Your Content to the Services, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, power, and authority necessary to grant the rights to Your Content contained within these Terms. Because you alone are responsible for Your Content, you may expose yourself to liability if you post or share Content without all necessary rights.

You retain any ownership rights you have in Your Content, but you grant Reddit the following license to use that Content:

This license includes the right for us to make Your Content available for syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication by other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with Reddit.

The size (256x256) might be too small. Here's 512x512, and here's the same thing, but 256x256.

It never did, that's the point. Ran at a loss from day one. Possible (likely?) the funding's drying up, so might be a sink-or-swim moment for them.

[-] Lorez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but what’s Reddit without mods and users?

Not much. OTOH, from the financial perspective, reddit is nothing now. In all its years of operation, it's been relying on founding rounds to keep its head above water, yet to show a profit :\

hypocrite

Literally founded the place; chosen by co-founders/people with stakes in the company to be their CEO. That's how businesses work, OP, stop being silly.
