I’ll give you preview:
Everyone: stop this! you’ll kill reddit!
Spez: eat shit! 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
there. i just saved you a ton of time and frustration
Or he will just answer a few comments way down the page that don’t ask anything difficult and ignore the top 20.
He’ll just manipulate the votes like he’s edited user’s comments in the past.
“We wanted the user to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment by struggling through the dog-shit Reddit interface.”
Lmao, they’ll probably beat the EA comment for the record of the most downvoted post/comment, if Reddit doesn’t rig the score.
Followed by reddit announcing that they’re removing the downvote button because it’s “used for harrassment.”
The only thing I used reddit for was to lurk, see photos, upvote and read some comments or posts. I was barely active during this couple of years with a new account, after deleting an old one. Sometimes I saw it, and still see it, difficult for me to be active because of karma, some kind of polarization or toxicity, even on safe subreddits.
The good thing is that here, karma is non existent. Yes, you can upvote or downvote posts and comments, but those votes don’t go to you as karma, so you’re not affected. And that really helps neurodivergent people, as it’s my case too (rejection sensitive dysphoria, I think it’s called, one comorbidity of ADHD).
So, yes, fuck Reddit, and I’ll stay here as long as it lasts.
Lmao. Might as well post on r/roastme
seriously fuck this guy lol
Yep. Fuck him and reddit. I hope they realise their mistake and also realise it’s too late and they’ve fucked up.
It is absolutely NOT too late for the vast majority of users. That’s why I want reddit to go through with their plan and dig their own grave. Sick and tired of corporate bullshit to be honest.
I’ve already quit the site. Even if they backpedal, it seems unlikely because of any desire or respect for the users and only because of current PR pressure. I’ve experienced it before where some hostile decision is walked back until the uproar dies down, and they try again. And again until the protest fatigue sets in.
I’m don’t trust Reddit and have chosen to move on. Whether they stick around or not matters not to me. I’ve moved on and watch with an eye for curiosity and awareness. But no more emotional investment.
Even if they backpedal, it seems unlikely because of any desire or respect for the users and only because of current PR pressure.
This. Decisions like this are not made on a whim. They go through multiple stages, meetings, financial and technical analyses, reviews, lawyers … many, many desks and people who sign off on the plan. They really want this.
