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.
they don’t doom-scroll
Surely they can’t say this with a straight face
Whatever survey they used to get that number was probably about something like how if you google for information about a product or service you’ll get spam garbage, but sometimes if you add “reddit” to the search you will get non-garbage information (which is true). No way people would be answering that way if the question was clearly about trusting Reddit the company.
Saying redditors don’t doomscroll is hilarious
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.
Is that different than human trafficking? Wtf else do humans get trafficked for?
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.
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.
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
House arrest in a purportedly US$700k warehouse complex he spent US$30m renovating
It didn’t buy him a single gram of taste, but that part is not exactly surprising.
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.
Why do you think they think that you’re the infamous sex trafficker Andrew Tate?
The email alias they sent this to is similar to one he might have, just a different domain. If they did their due diligence they would have seen that we’re two different Andrews, and that my email domain has nothing to do with him
Cool story. So … why do you think they think that you’re the infamous sex trafficker Andrew Tate?
My thoughts? They probably don’t, but they’re hitting the email address just in case. The mixup is somewhat common, I receive marketing newsletters and outreach a couple times a week to that alias that have the “to” name set to “Andrew Tate”- pretty good indicator of who they’re trying to contact
Hello,
Our site is almost dead thanks to our cancerous executive staff but we think we can really propel its death by encouraging cancerous members of humanity to join on and spread their garbage messaging.

Joke aside, I’m not sure how we’re supposed to believe what you said without any reference to the moron in the post? I assume your email is something like his name, but there’s no way to confirm.
I’ve received a couple less cookie-cutter emails directly sent to this email alias with the name field set to “Andrew Tate” and references in the body to him. Unfortunately I tend to mark them as spam and move on, and they get deleted over time. Last outreach was mid last year from one of their sales guys.
