Spotify would be a good deal at ten times its price, and then maybe they could actually pay people something.

As an artist, though, this shit is infuriating. And as a human being. It’s like having a fucking Tesla or something, a car that gets nerfed by software updates and corporate greed.

“vote manipulation” is not a real thing on the internet. Nobody is being elected to a position of power. Ergo the conditions required for the word to apply do not exist. The reason is not there. Having your post at the top of a web page for an hour is not equivalent to four years of direct influence upon policy.

Concluding that a couple extra updoots on a post merits deletion of someone’s identity is more obviously bad behaviour than the problem it attempts to address, which is no problem at all.

Why are we copycatting the place everyone is trying to get away from?

Friend, we’ve imported a term from democracy to strawman with. You’re familiar with the concept, therefore surely you can see that! The strawman IS the term from democracy, imported to lend significance to an insignificant act nobody actually does. YOU just used the strawman. If we gave the thing its own name it would not have the weight it seems to have now. Bots are a different problem, no real human does this thing by hand to any impactful degree. IT IS NOT A REAL THING and if anybody actually did it it would be pathetic, but certainly not a crime worthy of punishment.

Again, why import the failed model’s rules? It’s a made up problem, borrowing a name from a sphere of actual significance, to lend it credence so as to be a dick to people.

Just fuck off with all that noise, you know? (Not you personally.) The crime is not important enough to merit identity theft - or, oh dear, is that term too extreme to fit the situation too?

It’s like everything is lies or something, that sure is surprising in a world where the only important thing is money. It’s like its an inevitable consequence or something. Like we shouldn’t have organized our society this way

fuckin shocking

I mean, if evil always shoots itself in the foot, this guy’s off to a good start. Why would you get them to agree to blame you for putting them there, and then free them? Chaotic stupid.

I mean it’s a major improvement to the platform, that’s for sure. Now anybody being a dick just gets corrected. All you have to do is tone your schtick down the littlest bit and it looks like you were asking for people to fill you in.

The west needs to step in again, ctrl-z the postww2 treaties, and give the land back to palestinians. Israel has squandered its chance and this heaping pile of shit all stems from dickheads trying to make the Bible true.

The problem is we deliberately make everything wrong so that it breaks. You can’t buy a good product once capitalism gets into full swing, because everything that justified its existence was a lie and the only thing that matters is money - not the world, not the people, just this fake paper bullshit that isn’t really worth anything and is just a status symbol that allows you to buy more status symbols.

When most people use the word removedry, this is the sort of thing they’re describing, not gay people. The word was evolving in this direction before everyone decided to pull a “satanic panic” on it.

edit: lmfao the word is autoremoved, case in point. why we doin so much censorship here? reddit is not a model to follow
