No. My time is worth more than 10k and I'd rather spend it doing stuff I like to do.

I see something similar in a lot of tech-related threads too.
Just check out posts and comments about Corsair and AMD in particular. There is often no room for logic, facts or debate around their products on Reddit. Rather, threads feel like you're stuck in a marketing promo event where everyone feels the products are great and fantastic and can do no wrong. It's eerily like you're seeing a bunch of bots or paid shill accounts all talking to each other.
What you need is medication, not food.
Get a bunch of laxatives, stool softener (if you need it juicy) and even some lactaose and senna if you're real keen.
Then eat a shitload of greasy food and you're set.
The fact that this approach was the sensible, default logical one any rational person would attempt first and they didn't do it highly suggests ad revenue wasn't the motive at all. Otherwise, Spez is so out of touch with the community he's orbiting a planet in a distant galaxy.
Notice how Reddit haven't engaged in any positive damage control at all? It's just been hit pieces against devs, an AMA with completely canned responses and unprecedented wide-spread hostile action against it's content creators/power users/mods?
Reddit is in full-blown sell out mode right now and nothing but money matters anymore. It's all down hill from here.
Indeed, however it's not worse than the current situation is now with Reddit.
I'm looking forward to June 30 so I can delete RIF off my phone and be done with the joint.
I really hate how much certain groups constantly dog whistle about transgender people as if it's the new scary gay people that are coming for your kids or something. Meanwhile, the average person would be lucky to even run into a transgender person and even realize it on any given day.
My father did warn me never to stick my dick in crazy.
Sadly I was not a smart man.
Here's the thing: typically I'm not going into a discussion on social media with the aim to change people's opinions or even to argue with them.
But what ends up happening is that they immediately assume it's a bad high school debate and things quickly devolve into bad faith arguments, attempts to nitpick and just general toxicity.
I've long suspected this is the case. Even Facebook publishes reports saying their platform is rife with paid corporate shills and government agencies pushing agendas and Reddit appears to be no different. I mean you can even test this by posting about a competing product and watch as they all come out to downvote you to oblivion and trash everything about it.
I tried it out but I didn't really like it that much. It seems to be good for most people though.
