I still have it installed and even though it doesn't and will never work, I still like to open it, and have it once again try to retrieve posts only to return "forbidden". I do it for old time's sake, like a digital pouring one out for RIF and the Reddit I used to know.

The comments are just so much worse than the top posts. It is akin to Twitter after Musk pushed the main active user base away in exchange for a Faustian deal with right wingnuts. That or Reddit was truly duplicitous in their messaging and are perfectly fine taking money from propaganda organizations running in other countries which can pay the API fees to push narratives still. Not that they'd want that before an IPO or anything....

That's not accurate. The article is about Australia. Netflix Australia had a net loss of 200K subscribers specifically due to the anti-consumer moves they've made which affects a lot more than just sharing a password with a family member. That's a 3% decline in a major country. Meanwhile, Netflix rivals had subscriptions increase overall and several saw huge surges. Netflix remains #1 by total subscribers in Australia, but that shouldn't shock anyone given the inherit momentum they possess.

The article was never about Netflix globally. It was always about Australia. Companies operate business units in regions, and each region must perform.

The dead Internet theory is an online conspiracy theory that asserts that the Internet now consists almost entirely of bot activity and automatically generated content that is manipulated by algorithmic curation, marginalizing organic human activity.[1][2][3][4] These intelligent bots are assumed to have been made, in part, to help manipulate algorithms and boost search results in order to ultimately manipulate consumers.[5] Further, proponents of the theory accuse government agencies of using bots to manipulate public perception.[1] The date given for this "death" is generally around 2016 or 2017.

Essentially it's a giveaway/handout/distribution to people who fulfill some criteria. There was one coin that gave away significant amounts (>1k USD) to early users and since then it has become kinda popular. Because who would turn down something free?!

Except its not free. For starters, you'd usually have to pay significant network fees to claim the airdrop, and second the money has to come from somewhere. It's the same with government printing money and distributing some to the people, in the end we all pay for it with inflation. So yeah, pretty scammy overall.

To play devil's advocate, while I have little doubts that these specific ones are scammy, there are many cases where they have been genuinely good value. In general, this is when a product requires an established user base in order to be effective , so they'll have an airdrop shortly after opening and then another a few months into the product's life. The aim being that if X number of people try it a bit, hopefully a proportion will continue using it and make the whole product viable.

And their new Elmo-like system to pay mods will make this type of spam worse as mods will be incentivized to allow this crap.

Is there even payment? I was under the impression it was simply digital awards similar to what is already on user profiles. It seems like it only affects the modsupport subreddit. Is there something I missed?

Airdrop(TM) is, but "airdrop" is to data transfer what Q-tips are to cotton swabs.

The crypto and buy GME spam from the groupthink "investment" subs was one of my biggest annoyances on Reddit. I used to love some of the investment subs, they got utterly ruined by the GME spam. Every other post is about trying to pump and dump some short squeeze stock.

The saddest part is so many of them don't even realize it's just a bunch of pump and dumps and hold the bag on stocks forever. There's still so many of them screaming about how GameStop or AMC is a good investment. Failing outdated business models, good investments because people short the stock. Sound logic.

I used to browse by new and once you filtered out all the crypto scams it was usually pretty fun and diverse. I do the same on Lemmy now, but there's a lot less stuff to filter. Haven't used Reddit since the API announcement and never looked back, though.

Up until recently it's been a great way to see a lot of diverse and new content instead of the same dozen lowest common denominator shit posts that stay on the front page all day.

What a fucking disingenuous post. I can go to reddit now, and most rising posts are about things that interest me, because i subscribe to subreddits that match my interests. If you subscribe to Crypto scam subreddits, you can't go here and whine about it. Curate your timeline, just like you need to do here.

I'm so sick off all the FUD about reddit. Yes, the reddit management are basically pure evil, I agree. But reddit itself was barely affected by the exodus.

These are the rising posts on /r/all, not my feed. I've used /r/all/rising for years because it gives more frequent and diverse posts than the same couple dozen lowest common denominator posts that stay on the front page all day.

For the record, "FUD" had a long history before crypto was even invented. In fact, in an Internet context I'd say it was much more closely associated with Microsoft nonsense than with crypto nonsense.

I didn't write a single positive word about crypto. I even changed "spam" to "scam".

I am salty at people hating on reddit with tailored examples to "prove" how shit it has become. It's basically people trying to tell themselves that things are much better here, and reddit has turned to shit since they left. My guess is that they actually think the content here is kinda sparse, so they need to keep telling themselves they did the right thing.

True, but only for now. There's a single leading alternative as a result of the exodus, and theoretically you can only enshittify something so much before people start to leave en mass.
