Don't underestimate the power of user experience shaping.
The front page is how most interact with the site, and helped it grow. The front page algorithm is bastardized to hell and back now, and unless you're on old.reddit, you cant sort by Hot by default.
Reddit is strangling itself to death with how fiercely it's trying to corral users in various directions. Every HeGetsUs post they force users to look at shoves good content one rank down.
This has an effect on the site overall.
What the hell is even a hegetsus post?
Evangelical advertising, talking about Jesus's experiences in a way that relates to what "everyday people" deal with.
It's important to state though that the campaign behind it is meant to funnel people into the extreme ends of evangelism, not just create more Christians.
I guess it's kind of like how they allowed ads for crap like "what is a woman". At the end of the day it's all alt-right propaganda that they are putting out either to get people to join their side or to make it seem like their side is correct.
Wasn't aware of that; so I'm glad you mentioned it! I always just rolled my eyes at it and moved on.
Are they still advertising all that "He gets us" ad crap? I left reddit almost a year ago and haven't had the pleasure of seeing one every 5 posts anymore.
