I just noticed this when I saw a strange “Achievement Unlocked” notification pop up on Reddit. What do you think of this? It seems like a retention tactic to me, like what Amino had with its streak leaderboards, and GameFAQs currently has with streak achievements for logging on ten days in a row and also for all days of a month.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Wow spez does feels so threaten that he felt the need to copy cod 🤦♀️
They are getting desperate
No, Reddit is going fine. But they want to do better. So they make up stuff like this and it will work.
They have all their bots creating first-class content. They don’t even need mods anymore. They don’t need humans anymore. They are basically a self-sufficient bot word factory and AI breeding ground. Like, if I ever felt the urge to rate babes with my masterful babe-rating skills or use my excellent human-judging skills to discern whether the repost-bot is the asshole in that regurgitated story, I’d go there in a heartbeat.
True, but they are desperate for money, that’s all it’s about now.
For real with how good Lemmy apps have gotten
All the bots must be loving it
Gameification is the “react content” equivalent for lazy social media devs imo.
the same bullshit from snapchat
Retention for bots, probably. Some of my accounts have been shadowbanned for no particular reason smh.
OP has a longer active streak on Reddit than Lemny as of now. SMH.
Lmao that is hilariously thirsty of them
Why reddit is using this shitty method people like me gonna crazy over this because we like to show some pixel on our profile to show we are superior than others.
Dark patterns go brrrrr
I was going on 15 years before they shit in the bed.
Wait, you need to post every day to get the achievement?
tbh i was pretty shocked when i went to the app to check notifications and saw “don’t lose your 2 day reddit streak” or sth
It’s to keep you feeding their site with data/posts/comments
