like a multimillion dollar corporation needs you poor mf’s to simp for it. Bruh. Let them burn. Spez is ridiculously self absorbed, to the point of creating his own self-fellating subreddit populated with bots praising him.

Ya know, this whole situation has me thinking about stuff - very dangerous. But it seems like this API move kills a few birds with one stone for the corporate Reddit:
-
They lose all or most of the people that were there since the early days, so you will have less resistance to corporate shitting on users in the future.
-
These people leaving probably removes a large chunk of trolls that fuck with the casual Reddit user - ya know, the gal that didn’t even know there was another mobile app besides the official one.
-
Those casual users probably don’t know much about ad-block.
I guess all that is to say: They’re probably not burning, they’re probably excited the way things are going. They can better package and sell the ever more homogenized, terrible, boring, disney-ad reddit.
Exactly. It’s a calculated move for sure, but they’ve built up enough of a mainstream base of newer people because they don’t know any different from the bullshitery that they’ve been fed
I doesn’t matter to me if Reddit survives. I was looking to move away, but there wasn’t a good alternative. With this move by reddit, the types I would get along with are leaving in mass.

This place is a cult and I’m definitely proud to be part of it.
Why do people describe Reddit as a community anyways? It’s a corporation, Lemmy is a community.
Reddit is a corporation that generates its revenue from thousands of communities that use its platform. I miss PHPBB forums.
I was never a Blizzard player, but saw how spineless the players were when they tried staging a boycott. I swore I would never be that type and here I am.
That’s called Stockholm syndrome
redditors don’t simp for a corporation challenge (impossible)
No True Redditor Fallacy?
Whats that thing that happens where people begin to defend/ protect their kidnappers or abuser?
stockholm syndrome
Government.
