  • I also think this whole place thing being back up is a test from Reddit how engaging the community is in their “Quarterly Reports!”. Many people and old time users left Reddit stating that losing the active or dedicated users will be enough for them to go down and Reddit needs data to support the opposite. In Reddit’s eye if “F u/spez” generates clicks and ad revenues, why not letting it loose!

    Louis Rosmann put it nice on his series of videos about the topic. And unfortunately Reddit will still have that portion of users that are so invested in it, that will play along with whatever Reddit cooks for them.

    For me, the simple fact that Reddit thinks they “own” the data that millions of people have put the time into making, was an enough reason to stop participating in anything there. Including upvoting and downvoting.


  • I don’t know why it has taken so many tries for the original writer to realize this. I did the same mistake back in 2020 with a hub rebranded that I paid 80 euros and after I saw that the charging power this hub is providing is capped at 70 watts, fired up AliExpress and like the movie “spoilers obviously”

    I saw all the same products just for 10 euros or so. I ended up buying a dell docking station second hand for 50 euros that is doing what it promised to do and although might not be the best product but delivers enough power to my laptop.
