It’s over.
not surprised at all, reddit only care about money
>>110202293Surprised to learn the CEO hasn't been luigied yet
Front page of the internetLogin required
>>110202312Pretty much the way everything is now. Definitely the front page of the pile of garbage the modern internet has become.
>>110202302I believe they would have to strip the NSFW content in many states and countries if they didn't do it.
>>110202293Redditors are the most annoying people on the internet and it's a good thing they're being walled off.You can hardly even make a post on there without it being removed because your account wasn't x months old, you didn't have x post karma, x comment karma, or breaking some random arbitrary rule put there for some mod's personal ego.
>>110202401But didn’t they already do that years ago?
Good that means it will die as normal people don’t want to create a userprofile tracking them 24/7 and stop using that pile of shit once and for all
>>110202727>normal people don’t want to create a userprofile tracking them 24/7LolLmao
>>110202727>as normal people don’t want to create a userprofile tracking them 24/7LOLLMAOROFL
>>110202293shitter did the same thing and goyim are still using it
>>110203098reddit way more niche compared to twitter in most of the world
>>110202727>implying the friction is even high when login with Google is an optionROFLMAO
>>110203633>yes google please fuck my tranime troon ass harder
>>110203649Google and Reddit are definitely fucking.
>>110202720No they stripped away all the nono opinion subreddits.Porn is still most of its draw for traffic.
The future looks bright
>>110203098The userbase has only gotten smaller though.
>>110202293Does this mean this piece of shit will finally stop clogging up search engine results with its garbage useless threads?
>>110203683
>>110203689Provide 5 examples of garbage useless reddit threads
>>110203758All of them. You find a thread about the exact topic you looked for and there will either be no replies or something like:>post deleted because user didn't have enough karma>post deleted because mod was a fag>post deleted because user deleyed his account >some retarded attempt at an unfunny joke for updoots>"heh, why would you want to do that?">some retarded non-answer that completely fails to adress the original question There, I just summarized all of reddit for you.
>>110202727good morning sir
>>110203802>This post was anonimized with Redact
>>110203802>"heh, why would you want to do that?"god you got my blood boiling already, this is almost the default response for any kind of troubleshooting people give on reddit, it's fucking unhelpful
reddit is only useful for local news
>>110203802the worst ones are when the thread is obviously full of people that dont know anything and they stroke each other with le hecking updoots by guesstimating using their genius!reddit intuition ! !
>>110202293fuck me, do I use lemmy now for niche forums? That site is deader than 4cuck
will someone create a neddit like nitter? anyway, i guess that after 15 years i'll create an account just to read /r/piracy
Who fucking cares! The onky time I've ever been on that accursed site is when I've accidentally clicked on a Google search result link.
>>110202293they are preparing for a mandatory age verification
>>110203802You let one out:>post replaced by pure gibberish by a bot because the user thought it would do something useful against reddit>replies to the post imply it was the answer to the issue
You will log in to reddit.Remember when you said you would move to Voat, Ruqqus, Poal or Lemmy. They are all gone and reddit is still here. All the people on Slashdot saying they would leave reddit were all logged into their accounts since Slashdot got rid of AC posting years ago.
>>110205073they aren't gone, lemmy has about 30-40k active monthly users. I mean, that's not super impressive but still
>>110203802You failed to provide a single linked thread on Reddit that you personally would qualify as being 'garbage useless' your incompetence has been noted
>>110203802>heh, why would you want to do that?I'm still surprised this one is still around but "just reinstall windows bro" actually died out.
>>110205144Shut up cuck. I'm not going to go on that shithole site and look for threads for you just because you're too dumb and lazy to do it yourself. Everyone but you agrees what I stated is indeed the case but whatever mental illness you have is clearly preventing you from perceiving and processing the objective reality.
>>110202293It's closing the barn door after all the cattle get out.Since AI answers most of your questions, there's no need to acces their forums anyway.
>>110202293Time to install google chrome as secondary browser with reddit login cookie I guess
>>110204399I wouldn't want to work in the company they'd contract to do that.
>>110204399>they are preparing for a mandatory age verificationMaybe. But what they said- and this is surprisingly honest- is that they want to be able to target users for ads.
Here you go: https://redlib.catsarch.com/
>>110203999I tried using lemmy, dunno if I'm doing something wrong but there's a bunch of posts every time I open the app with 0 comments each. Not even porn is active.
reddit should have died 20 years ago
>>110202293I haven’t been to reddit since 2012-2014 whenever they removed r/jailbait
>>110203802Not specific to r*ddit (unfortunately)
the open web or whoever consortium that promotes an open web should be allowed to have a standing army
>>110203802>Search for a tech problem>See a "thank you it worked">The reply was made a bunch of random because api bad or something
Nigga this is just so they cant route ai search bots to reddit other than the ones they own or get paid to route through
>>110206161It's too late. They've already been scraped, and AI will give me an answer without piddling around on their forums.
>>110205900I've had good experiences with the fediverse, but it isn't an out-of-the-box experience. It takes a while to get it set up the way you want it.
Good riddance. That means I won't get stuck reading it anymore, even though I hate it.Never had an account there, I actually tried making one on several occasions but they all got pretty much insta banned
As long as the AI agents of the major search engines can still scrape reddit for answers who gives a fuck?
>>110206604When was the last time there was a genuinely insightful post/thread on reddit that actually came with information you couldn't find elsewhere? 10 years ago?I doubt anything of value will be lost if AI doesn't train r*ddit posts after 2024
>>110202293girlsgonewild went to shit years ago anyways. I don't care. I found an obscure forum that is invite only that's more fun than anything
>>110203802>go on 4chan>find a thread about the exact topic you looked for>54 posts of users calling each other cucks, trannies, and/or jeets
>>110202293I'm glad they're destroying this site. I want to see the powermod clique get even more fucked over, too, like how they tossed out that turtle loser like a chicken wing after spending 16 hours a day moderating 1000+ subreddits for years.
>>110207133>54 posts of users calling each other cucks, trannies, and/or jeetsSounds like you got what you were looking for.
>>110203689Sometimes when I'm troubleshooting issues with game crashes or getting older games to run, the only working solution is from a reddit thread that showed up on page 2-3 of jewgle results. And now they're locking it away behind the login wall.
>>110207133Yet these threads still manage to contain more useful information than anything on plebbbit. Reddit is literally pinterest-tier in therms of actually useful information.
>>110206088People can hate SE all they want but I've still managed to find more helpful answers there than I ever did on reddit.
>>110207381people on se are shitheads that know what they're doing. People on reddit are just shihtheadsand retards trying to farm updoots with their unfunny comments every other post.
>>110202293Great news. Now it can finally die.
>>110210171When can this shit hole finally die?
>>110202727>normal people don’t want to create a userprofile tracking them 24/7That describes almost all "normal people", anon.I recently showed my friend how to use Librewolf instead of Google Chrome. He seemed to like it, and I was able to teach him how to use uBlock Origin advanced mode in only a few minutes. He picked it up really, really fast.When I gave him the mouse, first thing he did was go to Youtube and log into his Youtube account.
Wait is anyone able to use old reddit? This is truly the death knell for me. I cannot stand smartphone scrolling. Being unable to browse and forced to look at only 1 post at a time. I am on a 16:9 screen. I visited reddit kind of compulsively, but breaking all the oldreddit plugins truly makes the site unuseable. >I>Shall>Not>Scroll
>>110210283When we decide to shitpost it into an unusable state
>>110210506>When I gave him the mouse, first thing he did was go to Youtube and log into his Youtube account.Unless it's connected to an email with your real name on it, why's that a problem? Youtube sucks without an account, especially with the enshittification of the algorithm.
>>110210548>Unless it's connected to an email with your real name on it, why's that a problem?His Google account (which his YT account is connected to) is [first name][last name]@gmail.com.I will never, ever, ever be able to understand why people make a gmail account and name it after their real life name. I know so many people whose email address is [first name][last name]@gmail.com.Unless it's a business/work related email address, there's no need to be using your real life name in your email address. That just binds your digital life and your physical life together and makes it fifty hundred million times easier for Google to track your physical (IRL) life by tracking you through your digital life.
>>110210674kek it doesn't make a difference. they still know
>>110202293Don't worry about that if you use AI to get information it pulls the worst garbage out of that festering shithole and delivers it to directly to you, including some retarded hallucinations.
>>110210674True, and it was common sense when I was a kid, I just made a gmail for the purely administrative/professional stuff, and one for my private stuff, I never visited youtube with the one that has my name.
>>110202727not having an insta/tiktok/xitter account is literally a red flag among normies, they will (rightfully) assume that you are some incel psychotic serial killer if you have zero online presence
>>110211342>rightfullySorry to hear you're retarded, anon.Having an "online presence" is one of the most stupid things someone can do. You really think it's a good idea to be sharing your life with people you barely even know? Not just people in your community, but all the data brokers that Zuckerberg, Musk and ByteDance sell your usage patterns to. That's really fucking dumb, anon.
>>110203802yeah, i don't get it when people say it's gonna kill reddit's usefulness as a google result. it's always been fucking horrible. the 70 posts that attempt zingers are the worst.>>1102071334chan's layout makes it easier to filter noise. the threaded structure of reddit's threads means it's really hard to pick out anything useful from almost any popular thread. we also don't have updoots so when someone's trying to be funny, it's probably a little more sincere.
>>110211573I don't make the rules, normies are the majority of the population, if you stick out like a sore thumb then be ready to face the consequences.>You really think it's a good idea to be sharing your life I never said that, I'm simply stating a fact that for normies it's very normal and if you are not doing it then there must be something wrong with you according to them, I don't give my opinion on the subject because it's irrelevant in this discussion, it doesn't matter what you or I think about it and whether we agree or not.>all the data brokers that Zuckerberg, Musk and ByteDance sell your usage patterns toNormies don't care because convenience of getting free shit like tiktok and youtube is simply more important than their privacy/data/whatever. If you try to bring up you will be met with bangers of logic such as "Why do you care?", "Who cares?" and, my favorite, "How does it affect you?".
>>110211883Who the fuck even wants those assclonwns keeping tabs on you? It's all social policing and control. Zoomers are so fucking paralized socially now that any one of them might film their shit and put it out on tiktok for shaming that you can't get a word out of them
>>110202293but I am permanently banned and any new account I make gets banned
>>110202293For now, if you want to bypass login to use the old interface and see nsfw stuff, install this:https://github.com/mkornreich/old_reddit>>110210548>Unless it's connected to an email with your real name on it, why's that a problem?Did we learn nothing from Snowden? Companies know who you are anyway.>>110211342I only get away with it by declaring myself a boomer. I grew up hearing stuff like>if you post vacation photos on the internet you gain nothing of value by doing it, but you risk criminals knowing your house is currently empty, an easy target for robbery.>If you post political opinions tied to your name it can make it impossible to get a job, in fact don't post anything even remotely controversial onlineThen my parents do all that stuff and more nowadays, but I still get uncomfortable exposing anything about myself online. People do think I'm a weird anyway but I assume it would be 100% worse if I was younger.
