The level of engagement on Reddit these days
(lemmy.ca)
Rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it's technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Reddit has been trying hard for years to move beyond being a discussion forum to another mindless scroling app.
The reason is because in the time people read one discussion thread they only see one ad, but scrolling memes, etc they will see many more. It makes the ads much more valuable.
Yeah Ars has already called them out for being basically an ad company that cares only about shoving as many ads and paid content as they can in your face.
Got a link? I'd be curious to read that.
