Truly shocked that it worked out for them at all.

I fully imagined ill advised stops that put them both back into the DRS train. Not bad, Scuderia!

Ferrari not pitting under the safety car.

Count that as the first strategy blunder of the day!

This is what I'm worried about most, losing those long form communities, and the niche subs. Not just for being on reddit, though, but searching site:reddit.com when I'm looking for info about something.

Yes, there are a multitude of message boards out there to search, but the voting system makes better responses easier to find from reddit.

Even if a lot of us don't go back to reddit in any real way it's going to take a long, long time to replace it entirely for the broad range of uses it has, outside of it being a community.

I didn't figure there would be a majority migration from reddit, but I definitely imagined a larger backlash than we've seen.

As other users have said, casual users don't care enough, or just don't notice. This thought was solidified for me recently when I saw Netflix had a huge boost in subscriptions in places where they cracked down on password sharing. After all of the negative press, all the people coming out against it, Netflix gets rewarded for the behavior.

So it goes. At least there are alternatives for people who want them. I'm still holding out some hope for changes on the larger platforms, but if they are constantly rewarded and/or validated in their choices, then change will never come.

Honestly, they're the only smartphones I've ever used, going all the way back to the MyTouch 3G. Well, my first "smart" phone was a Sidekick that I got in 2009 or so, but I upgraded to Android and the MyTouch 3G when my cousin gave it to me when she got a new phone.

Since then I've had a Galaxy S, Galaxy S5, Note 5, and I've had a Pixel 4a 5G for a couple of years now.

Oddly enough I've been on the fence about going to iPhone for my next phone. I have a lot of time and money tied up in the Play Store, and I know it doesn't just go away when I get a new phone, but I've gotta take some stock before I make a switch. Apple products have become more and more enticing as I get older. I used to have harder feelings about the phone divide, but I honestly haven't cared the past 5 years, a good phone is a good phone.
