It’s really sad that the stupidity and greed of a few triggered the disappearance of a huge amount of common knowledge and references. Sure there were memes, and porn and other things, but there were also subs with huge conversations about technical specialties and solutions to problems. All this will disappear. It’s really sad.

Lowering the quality of the content means that sure they’ll get a surge of viewers to see the ruins, but then people will leave sure to the lack of valuable content. This is the idea behind it. If Reddit is forcing to stop the blackout, the removing the content value is the next thing. Sure you can boycott, but the amount of people that land on a Reddit page from a SEO or don’t know/care about the blackout are still significant. If those people have no reason to get to a Reddit page then the damage to Reddit becomes critical.

I read he said the whole Reddit Blackout will just blow over in a few days. It feels like he has a complete disconnect with the community… even the investors are unhappy. What I don’t understand is why there isn’t a vote to get him out?

No, what the fuck is wrong with Elon‽

It’s a novelty. And yes it will generate a surge, but it is not a substantial value over time and will depreciate Reddit on the long run.

I’m doing my part!

@Perry Haha of course the one show I worked on haha.

@WarmSoda That’s totally in line with what we’re seeing this year. Work (I’m a camera operator Local600) has been remarkably slow, or completely stopped successfully January. Their goal was to strike us before the strike, knowing that most of us have not be able to fully recover from COVID and already have used our rainy day funds. It’s amazing how destructive sociopaths can be when in powerful positions.

@Pips

Wouldn’t be surprised if they had a monetary incentive provided by a company cough Meta to do so.

Edit: or leaked user info as an incentive.

I kinda wand really one fully colored for myself…

If it’s VBR, either two things can happen, the compression esteems the noise can be averaged to a solid gray background, and the bit rate will be very low to just display a solid gray card, or it deems each pixel worthy of staying distinct, which forces the compression to drop and will raise the bit rate to the maximum.

They have to differentiate from long Tv show episodes. Some TV show episodes are over 2 hours long already. @chickenwing

I love Bink because it’s a Kbin anagram. Same letters, different order. @minnieo

Best ever made means slightly better than the previous one. It doesn’t mean it’s at good deal at all. My union (IATSE) got the best deal ever made and it doesn’t even adjusts for inflation!!!

@PenguinJuice Even if they were to back track on their decisions, they’ve shown us they can destroy it all just because they want to. The threadiverse will allow a bit more of checks and balances. I’m storing Reddit along with MySpace, in the hood memories I had there until the fire nation arrived.

@Girlparts

Can confirm, AI is better at summarizing an article I haven't read than I am.

This keyboard supports QMK, you can create macros for whatever keys you’re missing. You can also swap characters if you like. @Waldhuette

Meanwhile camera Dept got fucked with a shit contract poorly negotiated by 600 last year. @cyu

He moderated some subs before…

I was reading a post, closed the app and the post disappeared. I kept looking for it and realized I had the hide option on. Maybe we could add something to signify a post was hidden in this post. Maybe a set of post separator lines with … in the middle. You could even tap the dots to expand the comments back up? Just an idea. @EnglishMobster
