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.....

Reddit is reaching out to someone currently in jail because he is suspected to have run a human trafficking ring?

"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.

Is that different than human trafficking? Wtf else do humans get trafficked for?

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 11 points 9 months ago

Forced labor is also common.

Largely construction and agriculture

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

My non legal opinion is trafficking involves moving people around, say from one town to another town or a country to another. While entrapment would be preventing them from leaving where they currently are.

Ostensibly. OP hasn’t provided evidence about their claims

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 38 points 9 months ago

This isn't a personalized email and it's laid out like a marketing email (600px wide, image header...)

so I doubt this is a 1:1 BDR trying to contact Tate.

[-] PixxlMan@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

OP put realtotallyreallymeandrewtate69420865357@gmail.com into Reddit's marketing newsletter and claims/thinks routine marketing emails is actual attempted communication by reddit

I love misinformation

[-] andrew@radiation.party 2 points 9 months ago

I have an email alias similar to an address Tate might use, so my email is on a few marketing lists under his name. I’ve had two actual attempts from Reddit marketing employees to reach out, this is definitely just automated mailing list garbage.

He's everything all the admins, most of the mods, and the only truly welcome users aspire to be.

[-] fiat_lux@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago

In jail

House arrest, unfortunately.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

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.
