Disgusting? It’s a few slices of ham and cheese. It’s basic, but you find ham and cheese to be disgusting?

Given CDPRs track record with the deep Witcher series discounts I’d expect a complete 2077 edition for cheap in a few years.

Yeah I fully expect reddit to replace the moderators but it will take time and effort to select the right people.

If all the mods who protested actually resigned or moved their subs to being unmoderated it would’ve crippled the site, reddit would not be able to replace them quick enough.

It’s unfortunate that the threat alone was enough to get most of them to reopen.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sat on the reddit board for years and was briefly CEO for 8 days.

The hypocritcal thing here is that Worldpolitics did this years ago and reddit didn’t care.

I don’t think reddit will die, but they definitely hurt themselves. The fediverse grew by leaps and bounds over the past week, reddit drove so much traffic to their potential competitors. Then when the 3rd party apps die, they’ll lose some more.

Reddit is gambling on gaining enough revenue from pushing people on 3rd party apps to 1st party that it makes up for the loss of users overall.

People on reddit say “Why do we care about 3rd party apps, it’s such a small section of the userbase” But apparently reddit cares enough about that small section of the userbase that they need to push them to their own app.

Too many users on reddit love this because they hate mods and think reddit is somehow going to get rid of moderation when reddit is trying to be advertiser friendly.

It’s funny, years ago websites switched to openly available APIs specifically to lessen server burden because of bots. Now they’re swapping away from APIs because of bots, but those bots are just gonna go back to scraping.

Reddits user base is becoming increasingly unbearable. Won’t miss it.

There have been reports that reddit is restoring deleted content. Some are saying it may be a GDPR violation if you’re requesting reddit to delete your data.

I’m really enjoying Kbin as well. Ironically the people left on reddit are saying they’re enjoying reddit more too with the blackout, as they’re seeing smaller subreddits they used to not see, and the large subs filled with spam and reposts are mostly dark.

I think the lesson here is that reddit got too big for quality, which is ultimately what the admins want. Quantity over quality, more users to sell advertising too, and more users to sell their analytics.
