I’m gonna be honest, I was thinking of Dracula flow when I posted this.

Mother fucker could be Dracula for all I care. Still voting for him.
Think that’s where it started actually.
There’s a part of me that legitimately wonders how far Twitter could go as an influncer bubble. Granted this is unlikely to happen but if everyone who’s not an influencer just left for Mastodon and Twitter just became a hollow shell of influencers trying to sell products to customers who just aren’t there, how far would Twitter’s inerta carry it before anyone realized?
That’s what I don’t get. These are expectations that I’ve had for years. The indie space has kinda proven that creativity will take a game a hell of a lot farther than cash ever will. With few exceptions I simply don’t buy AAA games anymore because honestly I just don’t expect the same level of effort will be put into making them.
I’ve actually been wondering why that’s the case for a while. Like is it a limitation of something their doing under the hood of GSUITE products?
It’s like Elon has read every book with an evil corporation in it and decided to make it his whole ascetic. X corp, sounds like the big bad that some plucky band of YA book protagonists have to team up to take down.
Ok so this is just desperate right? Like chasing 3rd party devs off could theoretically force more people to use their app, the reddit gold thing could be them paving the way to put in something more abusive. But this? Hoping to annoy your users to the point that they’ll pay you a ransom to make you stop? How is this anything other than embarrassingly desperate?
I also feel like Reddit skewed slightly more towards this demographic then a lot of other social media sites did. Like that’s not to say that you didn’t have this demographic on Facebook or Twitter, but Reddit always felt (to me at least) like it more aligned with the sensibilities of this crowd in part because of some of the same factors mentioned above. So I think a lot of the folks who ended up here tended to be the techier edge of the already preexisting techie bias that existed on Reddit.
I was a RiF user myself. Not interested in a reddit without it.
Thank you for noticing.
Think it depends on how much his assholery cuts into the bottom line unfortunately. If the blackout can scare off advertisers for a reasonable amount of time then his ass is grass. If advertisers still think it’s worth it to associate with reddit then it doesn’t really matter how much a douchbag Spez is. Capitalism baby, a bucks a buck.
I think it’d also count as a full term in office so far as the rule against running more than twice goes. So you could run for reelection, but that isn’t a “one werid trick” to getting three terms in office.
