I think people who are content with Reddit being the way it is deserve someone like Spez.

I can totally relate to what you are saying.
Reddit has been shit since 2014, some would argue since its inception. It never properly replaced serious forums that specialized on their own niche, like PC hardware, gossip, cars, or whatever. The subreddit replacements always felt like lower quality EVEN THOUGH Reddit mods are (in general) more trigger happy than those running proper forums. The astroturfing, the deception, the lack of respect for its users, the UX dark patterns, it has all been getting worse and worse. Some haven’t gotten the memo yet, that Reddit serves no one but itself, it’s a cancer.
dictionary
astroturfing = “Public relations tactic using fake grassroots movements” (used by, among others, corporations, politicians (remember the Trump 2016 campaign on Reddit?), and governments)
UX dark pattern = user experience dark pattern = “A dark pattern is a design feature that subtly encourages users to perform a specific action.” (like Reddit’s “Howdy paddner” error if you use a VPN so that they can de-anonymize you)
That’s a stupid question. As a collective, humanity is able to accomplish all these things.
I don’t want to say “I told you so”, but I told you so.

Blocking Data Scraping
They need to keep all that data for themselves so that they can sell it.
You would rather have drug dealers astroturfing online (“wholesome” marijuana threads on Reddit’s frontpage)?
I have no idea what is going on. Is the article biased and not telling us something we should know about the reasoning behind these bills? Are these politicians taking payment from “big-meat”?
Stop voting for political parties that send taxpayer money to Israel.
People, set a few red lines and make these a criteria for who you vote for.
Someone who thought taking out an $81k loan for a car was a good idea.
Doesn’t this cowardice apply to modern day leadership in general though?
may be using more than one supplier
uh oh!
$81,000 and go up to $101,000 depending on the trim and options
And they cheap out on the steel?
I don’t get how this is wholesome. Sorry
If you don’t get in line Musk, I’ll feed you to the peasant rats!
The peasant rats:
racist cars
Lmao. What the actual fuck?
Don’t lie. When 70% of your search results are Quora, you are going to click, you are going to encounter the login banner, you are going to rage, and you are going to click away.
