I’ve never understood the arrogance of Reddit when 100% of its content comes from other creatives via submitting users.

When you think about it, it makes sense if you imagine spez was dropped on his head a lot as a child.

It's because Spez has his head so far up Elon's arse he's wearing the same face.

It works in the short term, and that is all that matters. He geared up for an IPO, and the calculations end at that point, everything else is someone else's problem.

It's a gamble on the idea that people rely so much on the existing content and connections on social networks, in conjunction with the addictive nature of social media, that any attempts to move to a different platform would fail because anything new will always fail expectations of what's considered normal content-wise these days. People leaving sites like twitter complain about the lower quality and advertisers get scared off, but all the owners of these sites pay attention to is the people that come crawling back because nothing else is capable of meeting their expectations right this instant.

I feel like the labels in the bottom half should be switched. It's spez ruining reddit. No one else

Oh, now they will use your data for targeted ads, you can no longer opt out. So glad I left this garbage fire

Pornhub should buy them and switch it off

They're not nearly as stupid or obscenely leveraged as space Karen / phony stark

It is free, but when you really think about it you're mostly just browsing through 1 minute trailers from onlyfans.
