I’m sure they’re watching the reddit situation very closely.

You don’t smoke ketamine. And it definitely would not be responsible for the type of behavior he exhibits.

That’s just called “extreme avarice,” and “sociopathy.”

Right, they will do a cost/benefit analysis to see if the amount of traffic and engagement that they lost cost more or less than what they made or saved by forcing log in.

He only cares because it’s not him that’s doing the pillaging.

Also… Quora just seems fucking wild

Everyday Twitter erodes its worth for short-term wealth.

This is, and will always be, the main push of capitalism. This isn’t some cute new term like “enshittification” or something, this is just good ol fashion rent seeking and it’s capitalism working as intended.

Anyone know if apps like Re-Vanced work around this? I have noticed that the banner says “Premium” when I’m on Re-Vanced so I’m wondering if it’s tricking yt into thinking I’m using premium somehow?

Was bound to happen when average people started creating cults of personality around billionaires.

Try using reader mode in your browser (the little rectangle with horizonal lines on it next to the URL). You may need to click refresh. But also, maybe keep this tip on the DL because sites are already starting to catch on and block it.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I haven’t been back to reddit since the blackouts started. No desire to.

“Landed gentry”… Because that’s what I think about when I think about unpaid employees.

Yeah, Tunic on Switch is rough…

Can we stop trying to coin cute terms like “enshittification”? What that term describes is just capitalism working as intended.

There is a term that describes this behavior that we’ve been using for at least decades (to describe behavior that has happened since the inception of capitalism): rent seeking.

I’m pretty sure these employees weren’t being forced to attend. So it would be more like you getting pissed off because some of your fellow employees decided to organize a get together at a bar to watch the World Cup. And, because you don’t like soccer, you decide nobody should be able to attend.

If you are getting this upset and offended by “Peaches Christ…” By those words. By a silly pseudonym of a performer… Maybe it’s time to reevaluate your life, and what you consider important.

Are you also offended by the title “Jesus Christ Superstar”?

None of this was happening at work, but if you keep pretending that you don’t know that, you can probably get some other ignorant people pissed off about it too

You got paid, because it’s required by law that you do.

That’s not true. Maybe it varies from state to state, I dunno, but I live in an otherwise very blue state, and there’s no statute on the books saying that a private employer must pay for time missed for jury duty.

They are required to allow you to go if you’re summoned, but beyond that, it’s their choice. Obviously, most (if not all) choose not to.

I got called up once and was picked for a case… It was dope. Luckily, it was during break when I was in college, so I didn’t miss any (real) work. And it was only for maybe four days. And it was for a pretty boring insurance fraud case…

But it was still super interesting. Really cool experience.

I think there is no evidence that corporations are going to do what you all say they’re going to do

My friend, learn some history.

Who would know that? Surely not the average user, since we weren’t all invited to this meeting, and everyone who was would be under NDA…
