I wish “social media drama” would be somewhere else than “technology”. There is nothing in this story related to technology, it’s about business, people, and politics.

What a fucking hateful choice of colours. Green for blocking and red for allowing communication. Really shows what kind of perspective the creator has.

Because there is no useful replacement. The people I want to follow are nowhere else. When major news sources left Twitter, they left to nowhere except their own websites. The end result is that I don’t really keep up with the news anymore.

it was invented to be a financial transaction tool

Which it failed at

Watching content without paying is one thing. Actually paying the wrong person is actually quite malicious. You deserve to have all your favourite shows cancelled.

Is there a good way to watch on a proper TV? I find that all such sites are browser based, and I’m not keen on typing in urls with the remote control.

Have you considered accepting that you’re wrong on this? It’s not a personal disaster to realize that just because you didn’t personally see the impact, there was none. Instead of sticking to what you thought, you might learn insights. Perhaps they can be valuable when analyzing the current bubbles.

It was over the day the studios wanted to have their own services instead of licensing content to Netflix and competitors.

Are you maybe too young to know people who were actually working at the time. Obviously the life of a high schooler wasn’t very affected.

Good for you. But perhaps fuck off, because some of us lost jobs, homes, and financial stability.

My experience is the opposite. Apart from the subs still protesting (like /r/videos), it seems like nothing has changed. We have been reminded that Reddit management are pieces of shit, but we knew that since the days of Ellen Pao. Some communities lost some individuals, but all in all it’s business as usual.

The switch to where? Here, where there is almost no content except for discussions about how bad reddit, meta, threads, bluesky etc. are?
