You’re saying that with hindsight though. Everyone has their limit. They likely purchased Reddit premium before their personal limit was reached.
Really though, advocating for change doesn’t mean you need to stick your head in the sand and not make the most of the world as it is today. That’s just a propaganda talking point because it’s lazier to call people hypocrites than it is to actually disprove their points.
I’m not saying that with hindsight at all. lol, I pointed this major inconsistency out on reddit a while back and got downvoted to hell, because the people on /r/antiwork have a bad track record when it comes to being self aware.
I generally don’t trust corporations, because in the end, they either get bought out or eventually go corrupt. Hell, when they go public, corruption is almost inevitable, because at that point their end goal of generating growth at all costs becomes ingrained. Reddit is no different. I expect the same thing to happen to Discord now that they’ve gone public too.
That’s why I want to place faith in open source products and services like Linux and Lemmy. Not one person can control them.
Also, what does anything I said have to do with sticking your head in the sand?
