From what I understand, it’s like having multiple independent Reddit websites with their own subreddits. You can still access them all from your own site, but they don’t seem to appear as one. This is one of several UX problems that need to be addressed by professionals.

I wonder how many times they can do this before they run out of money or patience.

From everything I have observed, businesses are hunkering down for a recession in the next fiscal year. It explains the lay offs, the penny pinching, and puzzling decisions that look like business suicide.

For services that are free for users, advertising revenue and investment fund raisers are the only thing keeping them afloat. With banks like SVB getting seized by the FDIC, it’s starting to scare investors. Advertisers are seeing the writing on the wall that people will stop spending as much as they used to. We are also probably seeing jacked up pricing across the board because businesses are taking what they can before it’s gone.

So what’s left? Squeeze users for money. Additionally, shed users that actually cost them money and these tend to be power users. The question, which everyone seems to be assuming is a foregone conclusion, is if this shedding strategy will end up killing the service. In reality, we don’t know but the idealists would sure feel good if someone else ate their market share.

I’m just glad that federation is picking up steam in the social media space.

My guess would be those that multi-stream can afford to no longer care about Twitch and those that don’t will continue not to. Twitch is far from the only viable platform for streaming and I think most streamers know this.

  • Whatever respects my reaction time is almost automatically a game that I will like. If I die in a game, I want to die knowing that I screwed up and it was not the fault of some clunking movement mechanic or due to some uninterruptible animations. Highlight: DOOM Eternal
  • Whatever makes great gun-play. I don’t even know how to describe it, it’s one of those “you known when you feel it” types of situations. There are extremely few games that get this right. Highlight: Destiny 2, Halo Infinite

I understand needing to simplify the definition of these terms for the laypeople, but this was the best they could do? It seems they could not even bother with checking for misspellings.

I wish they included Selig’s follow up on disproving the app’s supposed inefficiency.

I appreciate the effort, but since this is one of the main subreddits the Reddit admins will simply purge these subreddits of their mods, install new ones, and reopen it (they’ve already done something like this before).

The real question is how well will the sub operate then? I imagine not very well since all of the experienced mods and their tools are gone.

It’s been a thing since preordering digital distributions was a thing.

The only questions I have are:

  1. Whose DNA is this from?
  2. Do they know what researchers are doing with it?
  3. What qualities or abnormalities does this DNA have?
  4. What safeguards are in place to prevent it from fully developing?
