its unfair on both sides because boy children aren't allowed to have anything fancy, and are only seen as what they can offer to society as opposed to being people in and of themselves, while girl children are seen as only for being pretty
This is a great example of what people mean when they say that the patriarchy hurts everyone.
The Board and Investors want a big IPO - that is their goal. Charging developers for API access was one tactic to help clean up the books in service of the big IPO.
But in pursuing the API pricing so aggressively, Spez has put Reddit in a negative light in the press. He's driven users to other platforms. And he has continued to poke and prod at the userbase to the ultimate harm of Reddit. The value that would have been gained from charging API access pales in comparison to the value that has been lost over the last couple weeks.
The money people want their money, and Spez has reduced the amount of money they will be receiving.
Time for a photo op with Putin and a big "Миссия выполнена" banner in the background.
Stop spying on me!
they couldn’t simply text to flake out when you were already seated.
Yeah, but then they'd get stuck in traffic and you'd be sitting there increasingly uncomfortable, wondering if they stood you up, or worse, got into an accident.
The truth is, most people will stay on Reddit, at least in the short and medium terms. But with each migration wave, there is a group that will stick around and make things just a little bit more active and interesting, and make it that much more appealing for the next wave.
I predict the next wave is when Reddit inevitably announces the shutdown of old.reddit. Now there will be a more viable alternative for that migration wave, and so on, until we hit critical mass.
That's the hope, anyway.
Because of course he did. It's like he's choosing to do the worst possible thing at every single step.
Used to work at a large tech company (think FAANG). It was advertised as a very dog-friendly place, so people would bring in their dogs, even if they weren't behaved well. There was an "incident" involving one of my coworkers. (That is a nice way of saying another employee's poorly trained dog bit them.)
Just another reason WFH was so much better.
Yes, it is expensive to hire engineers to build an NFT Marketplace, Steve.
I suspect a lot of subs will come back online just so they can publicly coordinate and announce their permanent shutdowns or migrations to somewhere else. If Reddit doesn't relent by June 30 (or maybe even if they do), I think we'll see a lot of communities permanently go dark.
