This was maybe 5 or so years ago, but I remember Game Grumps did mention something along the lines of how they get more from someone watching their video on YouTube premium vs someone who watches their videos with ads playing.

It’s still not a ton of info, and I’m not sure if it’s still true. Or maybe it’s different for every channel or something.

That’s why I still use Vanced. Sponsorblock is something I can’t live without even though I have YouTube premium.

You’re a psychopath for suggesting overcooked. That will bring out the worst in people. I played with my wife and I heard words and insults come out of her mouth that I’ve never heard before in my 20 years of knowing her.

I’ve heard similar stories from couples as well. That’s a game you play when you have a steady solid foundation of a relationship and you feel like breaking it a little bit.

4.8/5 tho. Fun game.

“Fine… It’s Imagine Dragon… These balls over your face! Eyyyyy!”

It would’ve at least given us closure.

To be fair, with a website as huge as reddit, a 25% or even 50% decrease in user activity probably won’t be that noticeable from someone like us. Instead of 2 million posts a day, it’s not now 1 million. Or instead of 500k, it’s 250k. None of those are knew we could feasibly differentiate.

Maybe if you sit on r/all and keep track of how fast new posts are moving, but even then, the algorithm may still just move the same number of posts up and down the main pages. So even then, it would be hard to tell if usage is down.

Now obviously there’s no way it’s down that much. It’s significantly lower. But I’m just saying even if we pretend that it was down that much, it would look like business as usual.

Also, either way, I’m still glad to find this place. It feels nicer and offers what I wanted in a way reddit couldn’t.

You’re assuming most of them are arguing in good faith.

I love all the, “I’m actually black and democrats are the real racists!”

I’m sure there are some black people that do believe that. But I mean like… KKK and nazi members and such aren’t comfortable showing up to democrat rallies to show their support. Republicans seem to have no issues co-mingling with them.

But hey you have people like Kaitlyn Jenner who still support republicans despite the fact that so many of them think of her existence as woke and needs to be exterminated. So… Who knows.

That’s not feasible if you upvote a lot of stuff. There’s a difference between, “let me upvote this so it gets visibility and to help there be activity on this site so it can grow” and “This has a piece of information that I want to look at later when I need it.”

They are two different markets. You can also buy the next elder scrolls have while paying for ESO.

One is a single player game, the other is an mmo with that mmo feel.

Yeah this is definitely step 5 type of deal. A while ago, they stopped adding api features for apps. So most apps couldn’t add any functionality. And not only that but even if you do somehow keep access to the api, you can’t do so with NSFW content. So they also took away something from api access.

Then there was the thing where apps couldn’t start with the name Reddit (like Reddit Boost had to turn into Boost for Reddit). I think Reddit is Fun was okay because it sounded less like an official app and just describing reddit or something. Not sure why they got to keep it.

The whole new reddit redesign to feel more like Facebook is just gross.

All the 9,000+ awards that meant nothing? Like you get a free one a day and maybe you get the wholesome one so you ironically give that award to a post about dying animals or something. So many posts just have so many random “awards” that it just feels like jingling keys in front of us to keep us engaged.

Reddit may not be dead yet. Maybe not for a while. But I’m not going to be holding on to the very last second. It’s been getting worse for a long time and this was just a good excuse to jump before it gets worse.

It will be fun to see what changes they make to moderators due to the blackout of this highly unpopular decision that they refuse to back down from.
