If the performance weakness continues for a week or two, the agency would start recommending decreasing spend with Reddit or directing it to other platforms.

After the blackout, we will be closely monitoring user behavior on Reddit and guide clients when we can unpause,” said Freddy Dabaghi, managing director at Stagwell-backed Crispin Porter Bogusky, which has asked clients to stop campaigns, depending on their client goals.

@Nogami @Jessica You realize that id you delete your account that has all that content the comments and post will be there but the author will say ,[deleted] nobody will know it came from you only reddit will know

That's why you use shreddit. It can go through and remove all of your old posts. I used to have it running on a chron to remove all comments that had no or negative votes after a few weeks. You can actually set it to edit the comment into gibberish as well to muck with the SEO.

That's why I'm not deleting my account, only editing my posts to something like "I have revoked Reddit's license for this post due to the actions of Reddit's management towards 3rd party app authors. You may contact me on Lemmy instead".

@Nogami Sweet yes I updated my Bio on reddit to point to lemmy and Mastodon. I'm happy here
