This link goes to Reddit, however, we have used a direct video link to avoid giving them ad revenue.

Wow holy fucking shit. Is there more footage of this meeting?

EDIT: didn't find footage but did find this article. I'm not familiar with this publication at all but seems to be mostly a factual retelling. Apparently he was interrupted by the mayor and asked to leave after saying that the local police department was pro-domestic abuse because they employ a domestic abuser.

EDIT 2: The article I linked actually links to a local source that has a much longer video. The dude in the video actually called the mayor and the chief of police facists.

It's also not his first time, this is a different video, notice the pants

Bro is lucky. Got to express his mind AND cash in on a slam dunk lawsuit against Officer Barbrady. The only thing he did wrong was to walk out instead of sitting down and continuing to speak his mind.

Even if it's a direct link it still goes to reddits servers and we don't know how or where they collect data and they'd likely be atleast logging connection requests to their servers for IT security purposes if they have a competent and / or willing IT technician on their staff

we don’t know how or where they collect data

If that's a worry you can always use a secure browser (ddg, Firefox, etc)

atleast logging connection requests

Not sure why this part matters? I'm just trying to screw them over by using their own resources without letting them get paid.

20million bill for api calls?

[–] L3s 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not making API calls, doing a web scrape of the front page, then tweaking the data. Also using a good VPN/proxy, so they won't be able to trace it back

Then it would be better to have a ddos equivalent of accounts posting the most resource intensive stuff at the same time say a long video with coloured randomised noise to put more load on reddits video compression

And a load of comments with maximum characters full of gibberish
