Affirmative action for rich kids is alive and well in the USA
  • Money is the supreme value above all others in USA culture.

    Let's be fair here. Money is the supreme value above all others in ALL of modern culture. Not just USA. If you have a billion dollars you can do basically anything you want, anywhere you want to do it.

  • Reddit’s 2023 r/Place turned into a battleground for dunking on the CEO
  • Man, I don't know. I know this is just a personal anecdote, but around my friend circle, I haven't gotten a single share from reddit in over a month when we used to send links back and forth daily. Those same people have said they haven't visited reddit in a month, other than the rare checkin on the drama.

    I'm sure the significance of the impact is relatively small, but I'd also guess many of those that left were heavy users and contributors. I'll go over there to check every few days and have noticed the content quality is significantly worse than 2 months ago.

    That said, it is also very possible this whole thing blows over and the million or so of us that left are meaningless in reddits overall lifespan.

  • What are your honest opinions about fake reddit stories?
  • I've assumed all "personal" stories on reddit were fake since I started reading reddit. I'm sure that isn't true of all of them, but I've found it better for my mental health to just assume those stories are all fiction or creative writing exercises.

  • Six verified Reddit employees discussing the current atmosphere at the company. Featuring "First the company needs to get rid of Steve", "It's garbage", and actively hoping to be laid off. : r/ModCoor
  • he's managed to lose money, burn bridges, and fuck up the whole deal all for thppe sake of chasing a few dollars of API revenue

    Let's call this what it actually was though, there was no attempt at making money from the API. This was entirely to shut down 3rd party apps. Smart AI companies will just scrape reddit. The only people affected by this are 3rd party app developers and users.

    This is even more amazingly incompetent. There are a near infinite other ways they could have handled 3rd party apps not showing ads, but they instead chose the brute force method that makes no one happy.

    Reddit is incompetence. That is their lifeblood.

  • r/AskMen mods told to reopen or be demodded, most opt to leave on their own
  • How else would anyone read this statement?

    Oh the irony of AskMen complaining about hatred

    Calling it irony is absolutely insinuating that AskMen is hateful.

    That said, I'm happy to be shown I'm wrong. How did you intend for this comment to be interpreted?
