The looks I got trying out online dating back in the day! The dates I got back then were… interesting. Dating sites were one aspect of the internet that needed a mainstream following.
I miss when google still proclaimed to not be evil, and I didn’t need every damn ad and tracker blocker imaginable on Firefox just to kick around.
The only thing I can come up with is when reddit was shitting the bed most egregiously, all of the news outlets were showing the app icon in images/thumbnails. Perhaps they wanted to distance a bit from the bad publicity?
Not that having a Doge button is any kind of brand recognition. I’d argue it’s juvenile for such a “grown up company”, or whatever Spez said about adult business, hehe.
Inflation/cost of living/etc isn’t singlehandedly increasing “enshittification” but rather the boundless greed of capitalism which seeks infinite growth of profit.
It’s unsustainable so we’d better make more humans to buy more stuff from a handful of people.
That’s atrocious! I hope someone is sending this post to a few media outlets.
Edit: found this–
“If you are a current or former Reddit moderator or employee, I’m interested in hearing from you. Feel free to email me at jay.peters@theverge.com.”
Perfect timing for the sentiment. NF Canada axed the $10 stream last month, so now it’s just godforsaken ad stream or the whopping increase to $15. I cancelled last month before this happened, so I won’t get the grandfathered $10 plan. Perhaps a blessing in disguise, because this tactic feels ever so much like being held hostage.
Screw Netflix!!
Your landlord is a piece of work! You handled it brilliantly, though. Anytime there is a building-wide notice with anything legal cited, I look it up; every damn time they are twisting some existing bylaw to try to control tenants.
Long live your plant! They look very happy and healthy :)
