I’m just glad that this entire thing has really made me re evaluate my relationship with social media and communities as a whole. Personally I’d rather have a smaller community with a bunch of nerds then another content hose. So thanks bee haw.
I got a message on Reddit yesterday cussing me out for editing all of my comments there.
Someone was mad that a comment of mine that would have been helpful to him was edited, so they couldn’t read it.
I didn’t reply but in my head I was thinking “great, so it’s working”.
Seems like they’re speeding up their own decline.Upcoming Reddit DLC store:
- Keep listening to music after switching to app - 5.99
- Battery Saver mode - 2.99 per month
- Block more users - 4.99 per additional 50 blocks
- Upvote button doesn’t open the “Share” feature - 0.99 per 50 upvotes, 9.99 per 50 votes for NSFW posts
The feeling that commercial platforms give me is being harassed until I pay them money.
I like to support platforms, but don’t like being milked like a milk cow.
That’s why I’m completely open source and on free networks only.
Is this a fucking joke?? Holy shit lmao.
This absolutely reeks of despair
Reddit is obsessed with money as of late,wouldn’t be surprised if they start charging monthly for app access.
@rainpoint @RealAccountNameHere Their venture investment has dried up after they used their last round of ~$250m to more than double their workforce in less than two years in a drive to capitalise on crypto shit. Now they’ve had their valuation roughly halved and are left in a really tricky position, desperately needing to monetise to survive.
Spez was chasing an IPO in all the ways you’d expect of a modern techbro, completely misreading the NFT craze and the impact of enshittification.
$49.99 per year
“What the fuck‽” he said, to no one in particular.
That’s pretty insane. Who is paying that kind of money?
