Really impressed with the reporting from the verge on the Reddit protest and beyond.
As of now social media has no real oversight so there is nothing stopping it from selling user data and keeping up engagement by pushing something controversial in their feed. It doesn’t care about the users mental health and just looks at dollar signs. I can see where they are coming from…
The Radiohead offshoot project previously announced that they were seven weeks into recording their sophomore album.
Jonny Greenwood has been putting out a ton of music recently, but as it turns out, the stuff we’ve heard is only the tip of the iceberg. Just over a year after Radiohead offshoot project The Smile shared their great debut album A Light for Attracting Attention, the musician revealed in an upcoming interview with Consequence that he and his bandmates Thom Yorke and Tom Skinner are still sitting on a “big backlog of ideas.”
Yes I did the same. I used redact on my 14 year old account and edited all my comments and posts saying “removed due to Reddit’s new api policy”
Wow that’s really interesting but not surprising.
It may not “end” Reddit but I do think this will end Reddit as we know it. It will just be a shell of itself just like Facebook is no longer a place for college friends to connect and share photos.
Just deleted my 14 year old account. Just a tip with redact when deleted you can edit all your comments and posts to say something. I entered "Deleted due to reddit's API policy".
I have been on reddit long enough to remember the migration from Digg to Reddit. Same thing, lots of "Hi from Digg posts" I see a lot of similarities to that migration.
