A made the mistake of watching YouTube on my TV a few weeks back, without an ad blocker. I was getting 1-3 15 second ads every 2-3 minutes!

Dolly would never become a billionaire, she’d give away that money to help people lomg before.

Avast!

Similar to twitter.

If I go to twitter mainpage I can’t see anything without logging in.

If I go direct to a profile I see can’t see anything without logging and;

If I go to a specific post, I can read the initial post but nothing else.

That’s what I expect will happen to Reddit

I suspect you’re correct, although I doubt removing old.reddit will cause much of a stir.

Notice how Reddit is releasing 1 shitty update every few weeks rather than all at once? By the time one shit update is released the vast majority of users have forgotten the previous one. Remember the API change? I reckon most of Reddits existing users don’t anymore. I suspect old.reddit will go the same way.

I’ll bet cash that it’s only a short matter of time before old.reddit is shutdown and within 6 months of that happening Reddit access will be locked behind account login.

You Forgot the classic

My guess is that spez and co are hoping they’ve hit a critical mass of FB level users (your mum, your boss, that wacky aunt, the bus driver, etc) that after they fucked everything and the exodus happens, there will be enough people around who dont care cos “lol cats funny”.

That’s a really good point.

Imagine your dog gets run over, you rush them to the vet but ultimately they die and your thousands out of pocket. You call the corporate helpdesk to log a claim because there isn’t anyone else to contact, they offer you $300 in credit for immediate resolution or you can dispute. You become upset because your dog was more than a credit refund, the call centre drone says that you’ve become aggressive, that you can call back during business hours and hangs up.

What a hell scape.
