There's apparently a Reddit activity streak achievement system now.

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.

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.

Wait, you need to post every day to get the achievement?

Retention for bots, probably. Some of my accounts have been shadowbanned for no particular reason smh.

ATDA,

Gameification is the “react content” equivalent for lazy social media devs imo.

0x2d,

the same bullshit from snapchat

I’ve been very busy on Reddit lately: I actively deleted my entire posting history by hand recently - which took a long time - and I’ve taken to removing all my posts and comments the next day, or after whoever the comment was destined for most likely read it. And yet despite all my activity of late, I’ve not unlocked any achievement. How odd 🙂

This is just an attempt to keep their bots motivated.

Dkarma,

Yeah I was gonna say wtf do bots need streaks for?
