I've literally never understood the advertising industry.

Like, a company gives another company money to waste bandwidth... How many people even watch ads? As a kid, that's when you'd leave the TV to get a drink or use the bathroom. As an adult, I run adblockers and haven't see an advertisement in ages - yet these companies are continuing to spend money on this?

What's worse is how they actually think people associate the random shit that plays before/during the content you want to watch to the point that they're forcing creators to dumb down the content. Like, I get it if the platform itself is shit, but come on. If you REALLY want to know what's harming your brand, it wouldn't be the guy saying "shit fuck" 50 times, it would be the fucking advertisement that's breaking the flow and interrupting the guy saying "shit fuck" 50 times. I'd sooner see people avoiding these products specifically because of the negative association.

Is it a comedy of errors, or is it intentionally tanking the economy so Russia and Musk can buy up the USA at a steal of a deal?

How does disabling DMs stop this?

Sweet fuck I've been over in the Canada boards for too long. You have no idea how much "No Frills EV" just hurt my brain lmao. Worst part is, my brain out the capitals there.

I was so confused by your first one until I clicked the link and realized you meant "OpenStreetView" instead of "GoogleStreetView" 🤣

Sway for a laptop, Plasma for desktop.

Had you have asked me a few weeks ago, I probably would have said Sway for both,.or maybe Gnome for the desktop... But I decided to check out KDE again for the first time in like 20 years, and while it's still kind of a hot mess it has come a long way.

Awweee poor baby... I thought he loved free speech.

No, I had my chat hidden because I primarily used old Reddit, and so I pretty much never looked a it. Made 0 sense to me. If somebody wanted something in private, they can send me a DM.

I didn't even realize people used the chat on there. When it rolled out, it was almost exclusively bots lol

Huh? They added the chat in like 2017 as part of their push to enshitify the site and make it a social network lol. I thought it was stupid then, and I still don't see why we need it. Reddit is (was) designed to be like a forum. You post, and you wait for an answer. It wasn't meant for real-time conversation. I don't even see how that fits into the site? The majority of chats I get are NSFW spam bots, and the rest are messages that I see months later because I have chat hidden and only see it on really rare occasions when I have to leave old.reddit a DM would have been answered much faster lol

But then how can we ask for nudes? /S

I don't mind DMs for one-off things. Like if I see something sketchy and want to tip off a user without alerting the sketchy one.

Also, everybody already owns a named subreddit that they mod, don't they? So can't you just send modmail there and still sidebar the chat in lieu of modmail DMs?

"makes sense" would be removing the chat that never should have existed in the first place.

Lmao chat is one of the dumbest features they ever rolled out.

I love how their attitude is always "we made this useless feature, and instead of ditching it were going to get rid of what people preferred and force the hated alternative!"

Once again proving that the Reddit admins absolutely hate the fact that people use Reddit. They should just shit the site down already.
