Reddit recently removed years of chat and message archives from users’ accounts without warning as part of an infrastructure upgrade. Many Redditors were upset to discover that their chat histories from before January 2023 were no longer accessible. Reddit claims they only migrated data from 2023 forward during the transition to the new chat infrastructure. Some users were able to retrieve some of their old messages by requesting their Reddit data, though others reported that not all messages were recovered. Along with this change, Reddit has recently made other unpopular decisions like ending Reddit Gold, showing a lack of communication and consideration for users’ sentimental attachment to their online data.

Don’t you see a pattern? Every Blackrock/Vanguard owned businesses are driving themselves down on purpose.

To my knowledge, Reddit is owned by private companies and investors. Blackrock and Vanguard have no ownership stake, or a very small and very indirect ownership stake.

For what it’s worth, a significant percentage of every (reasonably liquid) public company on Earth is owned by Vanguard and Blackrock, because those companies manage trillions of dollars in assets (many of which are middle-class people’s retirement investments). They aren’t a conspiracy. They’re asset managers, and mostly passive managers at that.

What’s the conspiracy part in Blackrock in your personal beliefs?

I’m guessing you watched the same YouTube bs that I stumbled upon where the downfall of organizations such as Netflix is attributed to Blackrock. That channel is such blatant propaganda/conspiracy theories that I don’t think Blackrock is anything but a target for conspiracy theorists much like Bill Gates is.

Blackrock is “evil” insofar as it is a corporation, and corporations are evil. They’re not the fucking New World Order or some stupid bullshit.

I know it feels good to believe that powerful entities are controlling things behind the scenes. But “feels good” doesn’t always comport with “true.”

According to whom? What kind of world do you live in where there’s some kind of overarching “force” with “targets” like that?

Year 2030 is a global target for renovations in every aspects of societies and countries.

By what method? Is that when the secret computer chip in the vaccine will turn on and kill us? Thereby removing all the people who have shown they’ll do anything the government tells them to do, leaving behind all the staunch and distrustful individualists who are harder to control? Or is this some other global renovation?

I was speculating that maybe they are going to drive the stock price into the ground and the magically “fix everything” to make it go back up, and make money on that…somehow. I’m not a stocks person so I don’t know.

This isn’t how corporations work. One, they don’t have that kind of foresight. All most of them care about is the next quarter, and being more profitable than they were at the same time the previous year. Two, they’re not going to purposefully tank their own stock, not for any reason. If “they” did (assuming you mean the C-suite folks who would be in charge of operations), they would be replaced by shareholders pretty quickly for not fulfilling their fiduciary duty.
