    Lol. “Town Square”. Hah.

    Honestly, thank you, Elon. Now I’m not even tempted to visit that toxic hellscape echo chamber of awful shit.

    Bastard somehow did something that’ll probably have a more positive effect on my mental health.

    This is a net positive (for me), but it’s still fucking dumb, and his fault. “Too many sites were scraping us :(” Yeah, dude, that’s what happens when you pull the “API is only for the wealthy now” nonsense.

    I swear, this could be prescient, actually. Could easily see Huffman pulling this shit within the next few weeks. (Lol, I wouldn’t put it past him to do it tomorrow.)

    The advertisers must love this.

      He kind of already has implemented something like this. If you ever try and load a mobile reddit thread in your browser, you’re greeted with a download the app-wall like 50% or more of the time.

      it’s better in the app

        Lol, probably should have specified. My bad.

        Steve Huffman. You may know him as /u/spez on reddit.
