This is the third attempt they’ve made to work with that guy that actually got routed to me because their salespeople don’t do their due diligence. Shocking.
Edit; a little extra context: I have an email alias on a domain similar to one he might use, and regularly receive email addressed to him. Reddit marketing folks reached out in a less cookie cutter manner a couple times last year, this is more of a mailing list outreach attempt.
Wait a second. Reddit is reaching out to someone currently in jail because he is suspected to have run a human trafficking ring? And they want to work with THIS dude? Jfc…
“Human trafficking” sounds so much nicer than “rape and enslavement” which is what he’s specifically charged with.
Let’s split the diff and go with: human trafficking, rape, and enslavement.
More stonks require more clicks, gotta get that engagement, gotta hold people’s attention, and nothing quite does that like controversial assholes. All profit-based social media inevitably ends up hooked on rage, imo, as it’s the best way to anchor a user’s attention and get more ads in front of them.
