Because an ad or a subscription is more obvious.
Algorithms are harder to prove and don’t interrupt the flow of content, thus less people get pissed, which means less people leave, and they can charge higher rates to advertisers.
Most lurkers view the Twitter/TikTok reposts Reddit is full of, which have not slowed down, or the ““advice”” subreddits, which have not slowed down either.
The content that people like us like, some of it has moved away, but the people who are willing to chase that content are a very small minority.
This gets made back by September.
95% of people who use reddit use the official app or website, and don’t notice a single thing except the occasional stray John Oliver meme.
Not enough hobby communities left.
Honestly, this is “danger to the people” territory. He needs to be deposed.
Definitely. Hell, maybe if food started to rot on the vine, we’d get a WWII-style sense of community back. Americans were (mostly) Americans first, political camps second when it was wartime. And saving our nation from (supposed) starvation I think would bring lots and lots together. Something this country damn well needs with how isolated we are as people.
To be frank, I think this is a good thing. Maybe working conditions will improve. Leftists always say with businesses that pay shit wages “If raising your employee pay to a living wage would kill your business, it didn’t deserve to exist in the first place.”
That should apply to everyone.
Keeping this system of exploitation (which is what hiring undocumented immigrants is) is an affront to humanity. It’s sad that this is even tolerated. I mean, DeSantis is a hack who hates freedom and should not become president, but this is one of his few moves I (mostly) agree with.
How long until it is possible to get an AI GF? Depending on how real-feeling you want it to be, 10 years or so I’d suspect. But, if you want something that feels warm-blooded, that’s gonna need heating. And if it moves, to curl around you like for sleeping or something, that’s gonna be a cost, unless you wanna hear metal clanking.
It’ll be very expensive (>$3000) for the good ones, and this isn’t even mentioning the fact that should one exist, the reckoning that has put ChatGPT into limbo will come for this as well. People already complain about sex dolls, how they allow men to “act out and normalize perverted fantasies” and “make them more likely to rape women”, and that will explode should a true woman-replacable companion come out. Hell, that could easily result in them being banned entirely, but almost certainly even more expensive.
It’s not going to be the paradise you think it is, in all likelihood.
Man this year has just been a total collapse of everything:
character,ai filtrations
GPT slowly being neutered thanks to societal concerns
Twitter being fucked by Mr. Elon “I know everything” Musk
Imgur cleaning house for no reason
Reddit dropping a nuke on 3rd Party apps
Netflix killing password sharing
Youtube feeling in to kill adblockers
-and now gfycat is about to collapse entirely.
What the actual fuck?
Doubtful, to be honest.
Most who have used 3rd Party apps have already migrated or found some other solution. Those who don’t care are still using the official app, and, to be frank, despite what everyone says, the quality content hasn’t decreased by that much.
It’s still half Twitter and TikTok reposts, and one-fourth ‘advice subs’ (creative writing), like it’s been for several years before this debacle.
Hell, maybe this is a good thing in some ways, where that kind of content can hopefully fall by the wayside over here, instead of choking communities out like it does in Reddit. (I have over 50 popular subreddits on Boost filtered out to avoid this stuff, and it’s still not enough to get rid of all of it)
