I think Reddit is trying to shift their platform into a media sharing social (like Instagram) rather than a discussion forum

  • The problem with Reddit turning into Instagram is that IG already exists.

    At the rate they're going, their actual destination is Tumblr, a company that destroyed their brand trying to fit in with generic corporate BigTech.

  • Terrible choice caving into the pseudo-moralists, but they've been going down a bad path for a long time. They should've looked at the cautionary tale of Tumblr before committing this own goal. Making sweeping changes to fit in with corporate agendas may be popular among their own class, but it also has the longer-term effect of sacrificing the user base. And they've been hemorrhaging for a while anyway. Where do they think their future profits will come from?

  • The worst is those people who bought houses out of town at the top of the real estate market because they believed the propaganda about WFH being permanent. However I never trusted C-level execs or directors not to renege on this, so I didn't do that.

  • Yeah and this whole agenda of RTO rolled out worldwide directly after Davos 2023 when a bunch of CEOs were tweeting about it from there. But noticing this makes you a conspiracy theorist.

  • In the old days people used to have their own servers...

    And you can still buy them...

    And the cloud really isn't cheaper...

    But whatever, it's ubiquitous today. Maybe someday people will wake the F up.

  • God I hate Amazon now. They're basically Wal-Mart these days with half the results being sponsored (advertisements) - and you see that even if you pay for Prime. There are some things you can only get there, but otherwise, since all e-commerce is converging, I don't see the point of enabling their bad behavior. But whichever global corporate enterprise you take your business to, they will likely have a similar mindset.
