Reddit adds analytics and drafts for comments

Engadget19 hours ago

Reddit is making it easier to gauge the impact your comments are having. The company is introducing detailed analytics for comments that measure views and other engagement metrics. Reddit shared the change as part of a larger batch of updates around how it handles comments on its platform.
Comment insights will provide details around upvotes (including the ratio of upvotes to downvotes), replies, views, shares and awards. Additionally, Redditors will now be able to share comments as a standalone post on Reddit.
The platform is also adding a drafts feature for comments that will allow people to save up to 20 drafts for 14 days. Drafts will automatically save, according to Reddit, so that you can revisit your thoughts if you navigate away from the page or leave the app mid-comment. In an update to moderators , Reddit said that drafts is "still in its early iteration" and that it may tweak how the feature works in future versions.
The changes are the latest way Reddit has added more flexibility around comments in recent weeks. Earlier this month, the company said it would allow users to hide their commenting history from their profiles.

Infant highchairs recalled over ‘risk of serious injury or death'

(NEXSTAR) – A high-end highchair was recalled Thursday over a potentially deadly flaw and several reports of serious injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). CPSC officials said the decision was made after multiple parents blamed the Bugaboo Giraffe highchair for serious falls that resulted in injuries including a hematoma, facial bruising, abrasions and a temporary loss of consciousness. The screws that attach the legs to the chair are apparently prone to loosening over time – and even detaching by themselves, the CPSC said, citing incident reports on as well as posts by parents on Reddit and Amazon. Restaurant chain has highest job satisfaction for 10th year straight Under one Reddit post titled 'An Unsafe Scam Disguised as a Premium Product,' one parent described what happened after two years of using the highchair, which retails for over $400 on the Bugaboo site: I went to pick up the highchair to move it—and it crumbled. Just completely fell apart in my hands. I was furious. This was supposed to be a safe, durable, premium product, and instead, it was falling to pieces right in front of me. The post contains a number of complaints about the customer service process, ranging from hangups to weekslong waits for email replies. Parents who bought the chair are advised to stop using it immediately and contact Bugaboo for a repair kit. No refunds are currently being offered. 'Safety is paramount to ensure the well-being of our customers and their children,' Bugaboo states on its website. 'To decrease the potential for incorrect installation of the screws, we have developed a free Repair Kit.' The kit apparently includes: A redesigned set of screws; An improved Allen key for easier installation; A step-by-step instruction manual. 'If you have ordered a Bugaboo Giraffe after May 1st, 2025, you will already have the Repair Kit included in your Bugaboo Giraffe box and no further action is needed,' according to Bugaboo. The recall page contains a link for parents who want to check their highchair's serial number. Geomagnetic storming could spark northern lights this weekend: What to know The recall comes after Consumer Reports sent a letter to the CPSC earlier in the week urging an investigation into the injury reports. 'While we are glad to see the product being recalled, it is unacceptable that Bugaboo is not offering a refund to consumers who want one,' said Gabe Knight, Senior Policy Analyst at Consumer Reports. 'Babies have been injured falling from this high chair, and parents may not feel comfortable using it anymore. We applaud the CPSC for recalling this product and alerting consumers to the potential safety risks, but Bugaboo should let caretakers decide whether they want the free repair kit, or their money back.' As of Friday, 18,280 highchairs had been recalled in the U.S., with another 2,325 in Canada. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Man Labeled the 'Office Villain' for Not Telling His Coworkers How Much His Side Hustle Makes Him

A man's refusal to share details about his side hustle income led to office tension and accusations of secrecy Coworkers made sarcastic remarks and demanded transparency, turning a simple lunch conversation into workplace drama The man stands his ground, asking Reddit if he's wrong for keeping his freelance earnings privateA man is seeking support from the Reddit community after a seemingly innocent question from a coworker led to office drama and accusations of arrogance. The 27-year-old, who works full-time in an admin role, shared that his side hustle in digital design has recently started to take off, saying, 'It started as a hobby but recently it's been growing fast. I'm making more from freelancing than I do from my actual job some weeks.' He explained in his post that he never brought up his freelance work at his day job, but things changed after a coworker followed him on Instagram and noticed his posts about client projects. 'She asked about it at lunch, and I just said, 'Yeah, I do some freelance on the side,' ' he recalled. The conversation quickly turned awkward when the coworker pressed him for details about his rates and earnings. He tried to keep things light, responding, 'Enough to keep me busy,' but soon realized that his answer wasn't enough to satisfy his colleagues' curiosity. After that lunch, the office dynamic shifted, and he started to notice a 'weird vibe' among his coworkers. He described how some begin making sarcastic remarks, like, 'Must be nice to have side hustle money,' and, 'You probably don't even need this job, huh?' The jokes don't stop there. Others suggest he should buy lunch for the team, and one coworker, whom he barely knows, even called him 'disrespectful' for not being transparent about his income, arguing, 'since we're all in the same struggle together.' Feeling uncomfortable, he stood his ground and told his coworkers, 'My side income is none of their business,' but this only seemed to make things worse. He wrote, 'Now I'm being painted as arrogant and 'secretive.' My boss hasn't said anything, but I feel like I've become the office villain just because I didn't want to share my finances.'

Seeking perspective, he asked the Reddit community, "AITA for keeping my side income private and not telling my coworkers how much I earn outside of work?' The responses were swift and supportive, with one commenter offering a lesson for the future: 'From now on you say nothing about what you make. You don't even hint at it.' Another user pointed out that side hustles are incredibly common and shouldn't be a cause for office tension. They wrote, 'People are allowed to work second jobs or have side hustles without snide remarks from coworkers. It's such a commonplace activity that I don't see why people bat an eyelid at this stuff." For now, the man is left navigating an office environment where his financial privacy has become a hot topic, yet he stands by his decision to keep his side income to himself.

Groom Accuses Sister of 'Ruining' His Wedding After She Told Him a Secret About Their Dad

A teenage girl is questioning whether she was right to share some sensitive information about her brother's wedding during the reception According to a post shared to Reddit's AITAH (Am I The A------?) forum, a 16-year-old girl told her brother at his wedding that their dad had used ChatGPT to generate his speech "I didn't mean to cause drama," she wrote in the post, sharing that her family members told her that she had ruined the wedding with her comment to her brotherA teenage girl is questioning whether she was right to share some sensitive information about her brother's wedding after her whole family became angry with her. In a post shared to Reddit's r/AITAH (Am I The A------?) forum, a 16-year-old girl opened up about attending her 25-year-old brother's wedding the weekend prior. According to the teen, "It was a beautiful ceremony, until it wasn't." "My brother and our dad have always had a tense relationship," she shared. "They're civil, but there's a lot of unspoken resentment there. My brother always felt like Dad wasn't emotionally available growing up, always worked too much, missed birthdays, etc. Dad, on the other hand, insists he 'did his best' and doesn't believe in 'dredging up the past.' You get the picture." According to the Redditor, her dad knocked on her bedroom door just two nights before the wedding to ask her to help him write a speech for the big day — but he wanted to AI-generate it. "He said he was 'too tired' to be sentimental, but knew he had to say something," she shared. "So he asked me to help him figure out how to use ChatGPT." "I showed him how to log on, typed in a prompt and that was it. He copied it, edited maybe two words, and saved it in his Notes app," the teen continued. "I asked him if he really wanted to say something he didn't write himself and he just shrugged and said, 'It says it better than I ever could,' I didn't say anything else at the time but I figured that he wouldn't ACTUALLY do it." According to the Reddit post, the wedding day turned out "beautiful," and people were moved by her father's speech. "People were crying," she shared. "Even my brother looked really emotional like he was actually touched. He hugged Dad afterwards." "Later that evening, after a few drinks and while things were winding down (of course I wasn't drinking) my brother found me and said, 'I didn't expect Dad to say all that. Do you think he meant it?' " the Redditor continued. "I hesitated of course but I ended up feeling bad so I figured I'd just tell the truth. I ended up saying something like, 'I mean he used ChatGPT to write it. So maybe?' " She shared that everything quickly blew up after she told her brother the truth, adding that she "didn't say it in a mean way" and that she "wasn't trying to ruin anything." "I genuinely thought he had a right to know. But I could see the exact moment his face changed. He went quiet and walked away. I didn't see him for the rest of the night," she added. The following day, the teen said that she woke up to nearly a dozen text messages from family members — including her mother, who is divorced from their dad — who all said that she "crushed" the nice moment between her brother and father and told her that she "could've kept my mouth shut." "I didn't mean to cause drama," she finished the heartfelt post, before asking the Reddit community if she truly was in the wrong. "I just didn't like seeing my brother connect with something that wasn't even real. He's now barely speaking to Dad again, and to me either." Many replies had mixed opinions about the situation, as commenters argued that while the teen's dad was wrong to fake such a sentimental moment on a major day in his son's life, it was still not a good idea to share that information on the wedding day. "Sure, your dad took the easy way out by having AI write the speech, but he did choose to use those words and who is to say that they did not reflect his true feelings and that is why he chose to use them," one reply read (although the original poster later clarified that her dad only "skimmed" the speech after generating it). "Bottom line is, he read those words and I'd give him the benefit of the doubt that they were sincere. So I'd say [you're the a------] because I think you outed him because of your own resentment, not a deep desire for the truth," the reply continued. "Massive YTA," another commenter added. "I know you still have a lot of growing up to do, but you really need to work on how to treat others."

"You had a choice between lying to your brother in order to save the night, which would have led him to probably resent you for the lie later on, if you ever decided to set matters straight, or if the truth came out (which I believe it would have, given that your brother was genuinely surprised by, and curious about, the speech) - or you had the option of telling him the truth, as you did," another reply argued. "While it sounds like you could have handled the matter a little bit more sensitively, it feels like your family are shooting the messenger in channeling their anger towards you, rather than your dad, who's ultimately responsible for having played his son's emotions by reading out an AI-generated speech," the reply continued. "... I don't think you're an a------, OP - I think you're 16 years old, and need to learn to handle things with a little bit more sensitivity, but that you were put in a really awkward position, and picked the lesser of two evils."
