Tomorrow we’ll be launching a new post-to-profile experience with a few alpha testers (self.modnews)

HideHideHidden[A] が 投稿

Hi mods,

Tomorrow we’ll be launching an early version of a new profile page experience with a few redditors. These testers will have a new profile page design, the ability to make posts directly to their profile (not just to communities), and logged-in redditors will be able to follow them. We think this product will be helpful to the Reddit community and want to give you a heads up.

What’s changing?

  • A very small number of redditors will be able to post directly to their own profile. The profile page will combine posts made to the profile (‘new”) and posts made to communities (“legacy”).
  • The profile page is redesigned to better showcase the redditor’s avatar, a short description and their posts. We’ll be sharing designs of this experience tomorrow.
  • Redditors will be able to follow these testers, at which point posts made to the tester’s profile page will start to appear on the follower’s front-page. These posts will appear following the same “hot” algorithms as everything else.
  • Redditors will be able to comment on the profile posts, but not create new posts on someone else’s profile.

We’re making this change because content creators tell us they have a hard time finding the right place to post their content. We also want to support them in being able to grow their own followers (similar to how communities can build subscribers). We’ve been working very closely with mods in a few communities to make sure the product will not negatively impact our existing communities. These mods have provided incredibly helpful feedback during the development process, and we are very grateful to them. They are the ones that helped us select the first batch of test users.

We don’t think there will be any direct impact to how you moderate your communities or changes to your day-to-day activities with this version of the launch. We expect the carefully selected, small group of redditors to continue to follow all of the rules of your communities.

I’ll be here for a while to answer any questions you may have.

Sounds interesting. What's the thinking behind this change? Do you think it will detract from subreddits if content creators are just posting to their own profiles? Could these kinds of self-posts appear on /r/all (or /r/popular)? Who moderates the threads, assuming that comments are enabled on these?

[–]HideHideHidden[S,A] 36 ポイント37 ポイント  (82子コメント)

What's the thinking behind this change? We think this will allow some of the best content creators on reddit to stay on reddit and grow.

Do you think it will detract from subreddits if content creators are just posting to their own profiles Communities will continue to be the priority for reddit and where users find the most value. We think adding a more robust profile page this will bring more interesting content creators to reddit and allow existing creators to grow. Ultimately, the goal is to add more content and spark more conversation to reddit and to encourage these users to interact with communities properly, not to divert participation from communities.

Could these kinds of self-posts appear on r/all (or r/popular)? Yes

Who moderates the threads? Assuming comments are enabled on these? The content creator will moderate the threads but can also add additional moderators to help out. Yes, comments are enabled for these threads. We want to allow redditors to engage in more conversations, not less.

I've been going through this thread defending the idea because I actually like it quite a bit, but I do strongly disagree with user pages being able to get exposure on r/all and r/popular. This is just begging for people to get shit that wouldn't be tolerated by communities on r/all and r/popular right back on the front page again.

[–]biznatch11 37 ポイント38 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree, keep them off r/popular. Perhaps they could be kept on r/all but there should be an option to filter all these self-subs with one click (so you don't have to filter them one by one).

[–]HideHideHidden[S,A] 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (17子コメント)

This is why we're testing this with a small group of testers. If it looks like our users really hate their posts from surfacing on r/all or r/popular, we can address the concern quickly and find a solution without a huge impact to the rest of Reddit.

[–]graaahh 63 ポイント64 ポイント  (9子コメント)

I'm less concerned with whether the test users like their things showing up on r/all or r/popular, and more concerned with how the other users of reddit will like seeing those things there. Allowing usersubs to show on those pages doesn't add much to the general user experience, and it has the potential to hurt it in a few different ways:

  1. People who are active on quarantined subreddits that do not show up on r/all and r/popular posting things that should not be shown to the wider reddit community, and getting them highly upvoted on the usersub in order to bypass that restriction.

  2. People posting spam on usersubs in order to get it shown on the front page subs.

  3. Further front page sub domination by power users.

[–]ScreamingAmish 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Yes, yes, and yes. While I favor the overall idea, including these posts on r/all and r/popular is a spammer's dream. I study SEO ( both white hat and black hat ) and Reddit will be overwhelmed with zombie accounts upvoting some random Redditor's spammy post to bypass community filters and Reddit's ad system. Mark my words.

[–]canipaybycheck 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Won't this encourage power users, so to speak? Do you know that power users killed Digg?

      So basically you're creating Twitter

      [–]rottedzombie 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (13子コメント)

      Away from the comments, then, who will potentially review the content posted by individuals? Communities have moderator teams to that end that are specifically in place to act quickly. Will the admin team review and potentially remove posts if they violate sitewide rules? What kind of response time could we expect if something's not particularly egregious but is still bad, given your already considerable duties?

      [–]t0talnonsense 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (12子コメント)

      It looks like, generally, this is intended to take the place of personal subreddits. In those subs, who was doing what you asked? The content creators who ran their own little sub without any other mods. The personal page is going to work the same way, while making that content more readily visible to anyone the visits a person's profile page.

      [–]HideHideHidden[S,A] 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (10子コメント)

      Yup. Have you been listening in on our conference calls?

      [–]t0talnonsense 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (3子コメント)

      ...no comment. You guys should really spring for a new mic for /u/powerlanguage though.

      [–]rottedzombie 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

      But, to my question: will you guys be the ones enforcing Reddit's rules on these posts that individuals create, or if the comment threads on these individuals' posts begin to violate sitewide rules without action by the content creator?

          Also going to be abused by spammers.

          Who is going to actually moderate these submissions when they are spam? Will the admins actually do anything when they are already overworked/understaffed? If we see stuff like this that is straight up rule breaking and/or illegal, who will deal with it? Can we filter this shit from r/all, I really don't see too many case where i would care about somebody talking/promoting their own shit?

          [–]falconbox 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

          It's going to be heavily abused. People will now be more inclined to just upvote anything based on the user who submitted it, rather than the content itself.

            Showing up on /r/all, now that's intriguing...

            [–]DaEvil1 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

            Can I ask about the growing part? Like is there going to be a way to find original content on user pages in an organic way? Like subreddits in general have a problem with promotion within reddit where you basically need to get your subreddit referenced in popular comments to get that traction going, and that method works for a certain subset of subreddits, but not so much for others (easily digestible subs like meme subs can easily do this, while more specialized subs have to rely on constant mentions on more niche places).

            When it comes to users, I see it going a similar way. /u/EditingAndLayout for instance wont have a problem getting word out because they're already popular and their content is easily digestible while someone looking to do more obscure and/or in depth stuff are going to have a harder time. I mean there are obviously avenues for some directions content creators want to go, but it kind of relies on a lot of self promotion outside their space.

            I'm just bringing this up because I think the base concept of this is very interesting and has a lot of potential, but I feel if nothing changes about reddit beyond the userpage itself and having threads being discoverable on /all/popular/new, it can end up working well for powerusers, but for everyone else could lead to being discouraged by noone reaching their content, along with promoting people being a bit more aggresive with self promotion to break through that wall.

              I'm a bit confused as to your reasoning behind this. Wouldn't making their own subreddit accomplish the exact same thing? Seems benign either way but there is a lot of overlap between how subreddits can function today and this profile page.

              This is exactly why I created my own eponymous subreddit. That, and the fact that some dildo was going around creating then squatting on "username" subreddits.

              That, and the fact that some dildo was going around creating then squatting on "username" subreddits.

              A while back there was some guy who used a bot to create subreddits for anyone with over 100,000 comment karma IIRC.

              He had created one for my username. I messaged him when I realized and he handed it right over to me. I think he said he did it so that people couldn't maliciously take subreddit names.

              Yeah another one said he would give the subs back if he "thought that user will make good use of it" and would often try to stay on subs as top mod, to make sure people actively developped those subs. Frigg off, we ain't developping all these subs for you to squat on. He still sits on a metric ton full of NSFW subs

                I never really tried to grow it. Whenever I have a "popular" post out in the wild, it will draw in a couple thousand views from folks scoping my userpage. Maybe a few dozen end up actually subbing. I try to make about one post there a day, but any "blog" type of post usually only gets around 20 net upvotes.

                  Making a subreddit for yourself is clunky at best, and perceived as narcissistic at worst. It seems like the admins want to encourage original content creators to publish directly to reddit, and this is a great way to make that experience smoother.

                  Plus, you no longer have the issue of semi-popular users posting to subreddits and basically disrupting smaller communities with their own thunder.

                  LOL. That's not going to stop. People like Gallowboob literally get paid to post on reddit all day. He's going to post crap to his profile and then cross post to 12 other subs as well. This only gives them another avenue to spam reddit. It won't solve that problem.

                  It seems like the admins want to encourage original content creators to publish directly to reddit

                  So... this has the effect of drawing content away from subs it belongs in.

                  Essentially turning reddit into Twitter where someone is talking at you, versus a forum where stuff comes in through a community filter.

                  I'm not usually one for hyperbole, but this sounds like an absolutely terrible idea thought up by someone who doesn't understand reddit. This will totally change the character of reddit and I don't think the post above comparing this to Digg v4 is too far off.

                  "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Ah well, it was a good run while it lasted.

                  It seems like the admins want to encourage original content creators to publish directly to reddit

                  Also, last I checked the rules forbid the majority of someone's posts to be self generated content. It falls under the Spam policy (Self Promotion).

                  So... this has the effect of drawing content away from subs it belongs in.

                  More like it gives people a place to post their stuff without breaking all of the self-promotion rules that reddit has.

                  Over at /r/AndroidGaming we have a lot of users that want to make games and post all of their updates in the subreddit. Well that can get overwhelming to have to keep telling people to limit the amount of updates. Now they can post a single thread about their game and tell people to follow their user page for future updates.

                  So I assume this is more a place for people to post their self-promotion to keep it away from people who don't want to see it.

                  [–]Kruug 31 ポイント32 ポイント  (4子コメント)

                  make games and post all of their updates in the subreddit.

                  There should be a subreddit for that game...much like /r/Clash_Royale or /r/ClashOfClans.

                  That way, more than just the developer can contribute to the conversation. See subs like /r/OpenMW, /r/MySummerCar, /r/Factorio, etc.

                      That's not true at all. It's useful for content creators while offering other advantages like being able to sticky content and comments, allow others to post, etc.

                      Exactly. I still think I'll stick with my personal subreddit over this new page, but we'll see how it goes. I don't have the time or the desire to build something else up again. I had a lot more free time back then, haha.

                                How many people make it to those smaller, personal, subreddits though? I think that's part of the point. By giving people a personal page, people will be more likely to see this type of content without having to track down that individual's sub. From mobile apps, I can easily view a person's profile page. I cannot easily see what subs they moderate to see if they post on their own, personal, sub.

                                  Digg was more like Reddit back in the day. They had power users just like Reddit does now. However, Digg decided to focus on power user curated content. This led to more not being able to participate and were instead made to read things from a few users.

                                  This was widely seen as a mistake because what Digg was offering before was participation, but they messed up and thought they were offering content.

                                  Reddit sometimes describes itself as a content platform rather than a participation platform, and so the risk of this happening here has been on people's mind.

                                            But did you see Fifty Shades Darker? There's a very sexy scene involving some ben wa balls I think you'd enjoy.

                                                        We’re making this change because content creators tell us they have a hard time finding the right place to post their content.

                                                        what ever happened to creating your own subreddit to dump your junk into??

                                                        who moderates these personal pages? if content is illegal, personal, whatever and it is reported - who deals with it?

                                                        how will these personal pages be handled in the future? do users apply for them?

                                                        will users be identified "in the wild" somehow as having a special profile page? how else will other users know to look on their profile page? casual user stalking?

                                                        does a profile page have followers?

                                                        does it have a modqueue?

                                                        if it's not a subreddit, how does it get moderated?

                                                        does it have.. modmail? userpagemail?

                                                        if a big fight breaks out and i want to lock comments - can i?

                                                        i'm now more interested in how it's different than a subreddit, because everything so far makes it sound like "yah your userpage is actually a pseudo subreddit now because you're too lazy to squat on your own name and build it up"

                                                        Clearly the admins want so make more work for themselves since they'll be the ones policing these new pages.

                                                        does it have.. modmail? userpagemail?

                                                        PM would be the logical answer.

                                                        Because this change seems to have been the result of reddit trying to court outside internet celebrities (for the exposure to get reddit more popular; I can't blame them), who can't be assed to learn how reddit already works.

                                                            Translation: People want a place where they can freely violate self promotion guidelines without mods removing their posts.

I don't think this will change reddit much, and it marginally improves things. As long as people aren't stupid enough to doxx themselves and then continue to post as if they were still anonymous.

Self promotion is more/less defined and more than 10% of your history being related to self promotion. If they are able to post to their own profile, does that count for or against them, or not at all? Will the /r/spam bot pick their profiles up and count it as spam due to the increased promotion of themselves?

                                                              The self promo guidelines won’t apply on the profile page but will apply across reddit when they post in other communities. If people use their profile to behave in a spammy way, we expect it to self implode due to lack of followers but we’re starting very small to track these kinds of issues. As we onboard these users, we'll be educating them specifically on self promotion in communities.

                                                              So as mods, are we expected/encouraged to ignore anything posted to their profile and not count it towards self promotion when we factor any posts they make to communities?

                                                              Are you also able to share the education you will be providing to the users so we can use that as well for educating our own users?

                                                              Since the self promo ratio guidelines exist as a way to discourage people from posting their content into communities that don’t want them there, I think it would be pretty weird if they were punished for posting on their own profiles and then coming into other communities and just participating normally and within those guidelines outside of their profile. So, of course, I hope the guidance of that ratio is applied in the spirit it was intended.

                                                              With a very small group of users involved, much of the self promo education is happening in real time.

After a while, no one (or lets say much less people) will want to follow subreddits because they're "lame". And when profile pages are much more important, reddit will become one more unsuccessful copy of facebook.

                                                                    I like how on Reddit everyone is pretty much equal, unlike YouTube where you have to be a celebrity with 1,000,000 subscribers to get noticed. Anyone on Reddit can get noticed, but now only the select few popular people will ever be noticed on Reddit, and the rest of us will just be the comment section.

                                                                    (Update) Maybe we could reach a compromise, you can post on your profile, and people can follow you. But no one can see how many followers you have, not even you.

                                                                    Then Reddit won't become a popularity contest and people will get their little area to post whatever. What do you think /u/hidehidehidden

                                                                    Also as another user stated you will start getting a ton of "look at my profile" spam posts, because now every user has a reason to spam, popularity. So this wont decrease spam, it will increase it.

                                                                    If this goes the way it looks like it's going I see Reddit becoming a pretty toxic/dead place in a few years

                                                                    Don't pull a digg on me!!!

                                                                    [–]patrickkcassells 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                                                      [–]drcorchit 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Will those reports go directly to the admins? Because if that's the case there's a big chance for report spamming to occur.

The nice thing of Reddit is that you have so many diverse communities, not just a few users who are followed. I certainly hope that it isn't the admins intent to put less priority over subreddits.

                                                                                We'll see.

                                                                                The whole thing that sets reddit apart is that it's community aggregated rather than a user by user one.

                                                                                [–]Gaywallet 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (6子コメント)

There's a few users on Reddit who snag up /r/username subs of individuals once they cross a certain karma or notoriety threshold. They have zero intentions of using the sub, usually, albeit sometimes they use it to insult the user.

                                                                                They remain active simply to deny the person access to a sub of their username.

Unlike other forms of social media, there are very few big personalities on reddit, and people are upvoted mainly for their content, not just for who they are. This profile page concept is directly in opposition to the main reason why I like reddit so much.

                                                                                      [–]ZeroAccess 89 ポイント90 ポイント  (11子コメント)

Now the more followers you have the more posts will get recognized, which will lead to more followers etc. Powerusers there would immediately hit the front page because 2,000 of their personal followers would instantly upvote everything they posted.

                                                                                      Anyway, like and subscribe if you want more of this content

I think most people probably wouldn't use this very much, but for the people who would (original content creators) it would be very helpful.

                                                                                          [–]jippiejee 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (7子コメント)

                                                                                          They don't want to participate on our platform, they want our users on their platform.

Lots of people seem to be making this more of a big deal than it is. It's just like a subreddit on your user profile, so you can make posts, people can comment, etc. It doesn't sound any different than a subreddit in practice except that it's intrinsically tied to your username. So who cares?

                                                                                          Besides, I find it disingenuous to act like original content creators are just out to make a name for themselves or something, when everyone on reddit is constantly complaining about reposts in every subreddit. Content creators are the lifeblood of this site. I think it's great that they'll have an easy way to put all their stuff somewhere that's tied to their usernames.

                                                                                              [–]canipaybycheck 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This discourages participation in communities because you can just post to your own "unmoderated" userpage.

                                                                                              Plus this just seems like a terrible workaround for your awful sub discovery tools. How about you spend time helping people find the right communities to post instead of giving up like this and letting people throw their posts onto their own page? This goes against the spirit of the site. Content on reddit should stand on its own merits, not the merits of whoever posted it. Let twitter be the place where you follow people, and let the cults of personality stay there. Those have already begun to creep into reddit but this change just blows the doors clear off.

                                                                                              [–]ThaddeusJP 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

                                                                                              These posts will appear following the same “hot” algorithms as everything else.

                                                                                              Any worry about the so called super user ending up on the FP a ton and people bitching? ALSO what if these folks use this as an opportunity to start shilling for stuff?

                                                                                              You KNOW these folks WILL BE approached about taking money for exposure - not saying its gonna be a common thing, just asking.

Maybe you have a better way figured out, but it sounds like you're trying to shape reddit into a site where people follow users rather than subreddits. That's called Facebook. Or in some senses, Twitter. Reddit brings something else to the table, and I think that is a significant part of why the site has been so successful. I don't think that turning it into just another mish mash of social media "features" adds anything of value. If anything, it will deter people like me from using the site, as I have no interest in participating in sites like Facebook or Twitter. I come here to read, mainly. Don't fuck it up, please.

                                                                                              [–]LuckyBdx4 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Make sure to listen to the criticism being leveled against this, because if Reddit loses what makes it interesting people will absolutely leave.

                                                                                              [–]Hubris2 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

If content is great, it should get attention regardless of whether posted in r/pics or r/funny or r/technology - but to have people following an individual contributor you're going to see all their duds as well as the top posts.

                                                                                              I do have some friends on Reddit who I manually follow through the userpage, but this does seem to transfer a lot of power/attention towards the big posters rather than a frontpage.

                                                                                              [–]creesch 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (4子コメント)

                                                                                              Could you please define what constitutes content creators and how you arrived at the conclusion this should be prioritized?

                                                                                              I am rather skeptical on the prioritization of these sort of things because the last time people tried to talk about this they pretty much got complete ignored. I mean I am all for trying out new things but this feels like something aimed at solely attracting more people that see reddit as a dumping ground for their content and who have no interest in being part of the actual community. So I fear that unless this is thought out really well to prevent that attitude this will make the spam issue for mods even worse since people simply aren't going to be content with just sharing on their profile.

                                                                                              [–]Kijafa 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

So that people will add reddit their reddit userpage to their list of links when they self-promote. Those users (and the followers that come with them) are a great source of eyeballs-on-ads. The best thing is their fans don't even need to make an account! Or go onto any actual subreddits.

                                                                                              [–]deviantbono 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                                                                              This is also becoming a trend in the overall direction of reddit, since the "no karma for self posts" rule was also reversed under similar logic (i.e. we don't mind low-effort spamming anymore, go nuts).

                                                                                              Less dramatic, but I've also noticed basically zero interest in enforcing the "asking for upvotes is a violation of intergalactic law". Some days my front page (and "all") is basically 100% upvote begging (e.g. the new algorithm is designed to keep 'x' off the front page, let's get our boys in blue to the front page, etc.)

                                                                                              [–]allthefoxes 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                                                                              But, thats not good enough for low-effort users.

Will those subscribers carry over, or does this mean I have to start from scratch?

                                                                                                [–]graaahh 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (2子コメント)

At least the admins haven't given any indication that you'd have to. (Not that I've seen anyway).

                                                                                                [–]biznatch11 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The main thing I like about Reddit is that it is community/subject-based, and not person-based. I don't think "Don't subscribe to profile pages" applies because the very existence of this function will change the standard for posting.

Will there be a way to make specific content you post on your profile private, or will it all be permanently public?

The only reason I'm not repelled from Reddit is because at it's core it is a discussion forum, not a social network, and the content is ephemeral in that it becomes impossible to find after a few years (That's not a bad thing). It doesn't revolve around users and their doings, it revolves around links and the discussions of those links. I really hope this doesn't get deployed site-wide. Fuck 'power users' and 'content creators'. Reddit is a meta-site not a content host.

                                                                                                      Hi /u/HideHideHidden,

                                                                                                      As lots of people have identified in this thread, WritingPrompts (where I mod, although I am speaking as just me) is probably the subreddit where this will be most applicable, we have hundreds of users with personal subreddits linked for their work and this might impact us quite a lot - but as of right now, we don't really know what this is, how it'll work and what it really means for us.

                                                                                                      It's not ideal for once again changes to be rolled out without really any details for mods. We might need to update rules and so forth, but we can't until we know properly what this means.

                                                                                                      As a start, can you tell us who the testers are, and it'd be nice to get a bit more detail about how this'll work, what the site rules are in regards to cross posting and so forth. If there are only a few then the first people you pick to "test" this are potentially going to become immediate reddit celebrities - is this going to be admins, or are we going to have to deal with the fallout of a few random folk?

                                                                                                      Are we talking 5 people in the test group or 5,000?

                                                                                                      It would have been lovely to have had the chance to feed into this process, I hope you'll consider reaching out as you move this forward.

                                                                                                      [–]brown_paper_bag 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

                                                                                                      How will this comply with reddit rules surrounding partnerships and profiteering? There have been several subs that have had mods removed when it was determined that they were receiving perks or benefits from companies by promoting them or by using affiliate links to slowly rake in cash. As it sounds like posting to a profile is essentially the same as posting to a subreddit, how are you going to ensure that users who post to their profiles aren't directly profiting from it as they are "modding" themselves?

                                                                                                      I appreciate that you are trying to make improvements but is seems like there will now be two sets of standards for content as its already been mentioned that not all the content policies will apply to profile submissions.

                                                                                                      As a mod of a few subreddits, I am not looking forward to the hours of work this will create in ensuring that my subs don't become filled with even more spam than they currently receive. Combined with the new "guideline" rules, you are putting mods at the mercy of argumentative self-promoters with nothing to support them.

                                                                                                      [–]Hooman_Super 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)
