IDK I’ve appreciated Reddit killing off good features like old version, putting a time-lock banner on mobile while logged out, trying to block VPNs when logged out, etc. I want that company devalued and bought by Verizon or AOL to die a Yahoo death. What is insane to me is how few people realize their stock has a higher P/E than nVidia… and it isn’t because of some bullshit minor AI data deals. It’s a youth-forward narrative machine, and everyone knows it.

  > I want that company devalued and bought by Verizon or AOL to die a Yahoo death. If the future's your oyster for what happens to Reddit, why stop there? If it's bought by somebody, that implies that Spez gets an amount of money that is greater than $0.00. Ideally, we avoid such a grim and unjust outcome. We want it to be made effectively worthless so he goes broke.

I think Reddit falls under this category. > If your website will block me out because I used a privacy friendly email, I want nothing to do with your website.

  Yep, toxic garbage staffed largely by same. Unfortunately, it has amassed quite a bit of potentially useful information.

    You don’t need an account to access the information. It’s also all been sucked up my the LLMs, for better or worse.

      It's full circle now and a large portion of posts and comments are now LLM generated responses, whether by a bot or copy/pasted by a human.
      - al_borland 4mo ago
        All the more reason to stop visiting.

  Reddit doesn't even require an email address to make an account. You can just leave the email field blank.

    But it does require a valid phone number which is worse. (I might be misremembering but they definitely require a valid something now, as I found out a while back creating a new batch of accounts to rotate)
