On Twitter, it can lead to audience capture. People will be chasing that high of going viral. It's not a great place for nuance. It becomes a competition of who can be the most hyperbolic
Lemmy is a classless, stateless, and karmaless society
I don't want to support a company that conducts itself in a predatory manner nor encourage other sites to enshittify themselves. The idea that the drop in traffic will further devalue reddit gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
That's like 1.44 MB. Who would copy over a million bytes?
Sure, scientists have to go to school for years and dedicate their lives to their field of expertise, but Joe Rogan found a blog that says vaccines have 5G-powered nanobots that kill your gains and send your biometrics to Bill Gates or something equally nonsensical, so who's to say who's the real expert?
I looked up the article and it says they're limiting users with an adblocker to 3 videos pet day. They're testing it out on select users for now. Enshitification is killing all the sites I actually use(d) all at once
I have the lower tier subscription to HBO max because the adblocker kills the ads. After the rebrand, the ads came back. Updated extensions and poof. Gone again.
It's like those frogs that evolved to be immune to snake venom, so the snakes evolved to be more venomous, and then the frogs got more immune, on and on it goes (almost said "ad infinitum" but that's weird with my username)
Every time you drive down Reddit's market value, an angel gets its wings
I was also lurking without an account as I was waiting to see if reddit would get cold feet about pulling the plug (not that I had any real hope).
For me it's the principle of the thing. I don't want to support a business that conducts itself that way.
