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.
Wow spez does feels so threaten that he felt the need to copy cod 🤦♀️
It’s to keep you feeding their site with data/posts/comments
Makes it tempting to start logging in again and making daily comments consisting of nothing but random punctuation marks.
commonting daily about lemmy, and posting the streak, only to people see the lemmy comments in every post
If you really need, you could farm like how bot accounts build up karma. Just use a private subreddit so your system gaming is out of the public eye.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
addiction mechanics lol. fuck reddit.
Yes! squeeze them to the last drop to feed our AI overlord!
Gameification is the “react content” equivalent for lazy social media devs imo.
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.
I was going on 15 years before they shit in the bed.
Dark patterns go brrrrr
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
