Not sure what he expected. I commend all the protesting, but we all saw how reddit responded. They didn’t give two shits. Yet people stick around in a toxic relationship with the site until they get removed. It’s weird. Why not just make the move to Lemmy before they take everything from you?
There isn’t an easy statement that explains why things are getting worse.
The housing market, for instance, was being affected by low interest rates. Low rates make being a slum lord more profitable than other forms of investment. This caused a massive amount of investment in the housing market by rich people and corporations, and normal people were priced out.
The banks that failed did so because they either invested in dumb things (crypto) or in long-term bonds. Those bonds lose value as interest rates rise, and SVB invested far too much into them.
There’s all kinds of reasons
Yeah man this is one I can admit.
The food is not even that good, but my body craves it. That’s classic addiction right there.
500k salary
Passing aggressively on a 2 lane road: ok, yes I agree
Driving slow on a 4 lane highway: real dangerous
If someone isn’t going to go at least the speed limit on a highway, they should use back roads instead.
Fuck everyone that played OW2
How stupid do you have to be to see this train wreck coming and still contribute.
Hopefully after OW2 and Diablo 4, people finally stop downloading Blizzard games.
Unfortunately, a majority of the population like the ad based free service model, so here we are.
True. The only personalized ads I ever receive are for products I literally just purchased.
I don’t know how there’s so much money in the ad space. It just seems like a huge waste.
Not just communities, but niche instances. Having everyone on just a few instances isn’t good.
Yeah I’m waiting it out and trying to build up my favorite community. I don’t really see reddit ever being replaced but that’s only because people won’t be part of the solution. There are too many people in this world that just don’t care.
Man, this makes me rethink my whole idea of online anonymity.
There’s a lot of reasons why requiring identity verification could be a good thing, but holy shit now I realize how quickly something like that could slip into authoritarianism.
I still think we need a identity verification service for things like online games and social media (to thwart ban evasion), but it has to be something decentralized.
Yeah probably 10+ years.
It’s going to be hard to stop using Reddit though. Very little niche communities have migrated.
Because I’m tired of seeing ads for things I literally just purchased.
I do the same.
Chrome for home and Edge for work.
The only good Reddit is a dead reddit!
Aye!
OPs example also applies to games they never intend to release on PC. It’s not like I was going to buy a Switch anyway.
It’s crazy how many people will just click accept on security warning them that an app will access literally everything on their phone.
It’s also crazy how many people don’t even know that Threads is Meta… where the f have these people been for the past 10 years?
Yeah it should be legalized.
What people do with their bodies is their own choice.
