Also, please no "tHiS iS eNgAgEmEnT fOr rEdDiT" comments. Would you rather have no such banner? As I'm not pushing anyone to become a long-term active user on Reddit, I don't see any benefit for the company from this. If you have a spare account, this may be a good cause to fire it up for a few hours.

Ah yes, the old "It's still engagement" angle.
Do you really think it would be a major addition to their views if even a whole major instance of lemmy joined? The bot accounts alone being used there would overshadow the number of lemmings that engage there. And that doesn't even count streamers with tens of thousands of minions. Even if 20,000 lemmings went there, it won't make a mark. A lot of people, shockingly, are still ignorant of what happened. Idk how that's even possible but there you go.
They. Will. Get. Their. Views. Regardless.
Might as well get something out of it.
Not if your message would prevent them from using it for advertisers. They've been removing nipples, dicks, piss, guillotines, etc and people still put them there. How do you think advertisers will react to that when they don't want their brands associated with "unsavory" stuff?
Also it is really funny to put a Lemmy advertisement on Reddit's thing
Personally, i enjoy watching people insist on adding nipples and piss to some artwork and watch admins give up on being subtle and erasing it wholesale, but that's just me. But yeah, what you said is hilarious, too.
This is also helpful because Reddit will not be able to brag about the event to investors without FUCK SPEZ or other offensive stuff showing, and any investor who does basic research will realize that their engagement statistics are inflated by bots anyway.
