With how quickly Reddit and Twitter have destroyed their reputations, it almost feels like it's been intentional to bring down our giant public communication platforms as we enter a new age of misinformation.

- anovikov 3y agoMaybe it's a good thing. If people will grow up and realise that "everything you see on the internet is by default a piece of bullshit crafted to manipulate you", world will become a better place. The less trust we have, the better.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoI dunno what you are implying, but Reddit and Twitter dug their own graves. They repeatedly chose short term gain over the long term health of their platforms/users, and the debt is catching up with them.
