That's not the only problem. They're making content, so finding "the right person" will inevitably be less important than finding a person. Can't fall out of the Almighty Algorithm's favor, amirite?

So ... What you're saying, it's that there would be less oversight when it comes to choosing their targets. Almost exactly like OP said. Almost like they were speaking in broad strokes and you failed to notice any nuance.

Bruh, why are you taking umbrage? Chill, I didn't shit on your birthday cake.

Honestly? I just don't really like that reddit behaviour of regurgitating the previous person's comment and passing it off as your own unique idea, that's all.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I took a general comment and said something very specific. What you saw as dual meaning, I saw as one. OP did not make their intended meaning clear.

Maybe we can be better than Reddit and be more charitable with each other here, yeah?

be more charitable

Says the guy who said I shit on his birthday cake lmao. I'm not offended btw, I thought it was hilarious. But like, I think we're more like brothers who pick on each other now. I'm sorry, but that's just the rules. I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.
