I’ve adopted the same IPO theory. Huffman thought this would drive more people to the official app, and he expects that increase to help the IPO so he’d make more money from it. If it works he’ll make a lot more money a lot faster than the approach in the screenshot. Then he can just serve everyone ads anyway, sell data etc.

Also he probably thought we were all a bunch of spineless addicts who would cry really loud and eventually fall in line, and a lot of users have. Now let’s wait and see the quality of community and content he gets after pissing off the people doing the most to create it.

Looks server side to me. Got a maintenance notice from lemmy.world a little bit ago (after some pages and comments not loading), and liftoff was working well on another instance.

There are many reasons to leave. Can I also just say the number of advertisements designed to imitate user submitted content really got under my skin. I’m not even talking about onlyfans accounts posting in various subs, but actual “promoted” advertisements that used common memes or are made to look like someone took a screenshot and reposted it. Not sure how many people noticed these. This kind of deceptive advertising angers me and I blame Reddit as much as the advertiser because they take the money and serve up this garbage.

For a video featuring so much of his disgust I was kind of hoping it was nothing but slurps. Maybe next time.

I felt like my Baratza Encore was expensive at the time, but after using it daily for a few years I feel like it was totally worth it. If you can afford nice things, they perform well and last a long time, then get the nice things.

Oh God… Being a non-mormon from Utah, and having just read Lord of the Rings for the first time recently, Minas Mormon fucking kills me.
