From the very start, ever subreddit should have challenged Reddit and called their bluff. Go ahead, replace the mods for thousands of subreddits. If a few dozen are changed, that's no problem. Whatever. But thousands? Good luck.

The whole protest seemed so half-hearted from the start. You don't go on strike with a set end-date in mind. You go on strike indefinitely until demands are met or a satisfactory compromise is made.

Yeah! Give that corporation a large portion of your income in exchange for goods, and then destroy those goods! That'll show that completely separate person with zero ties to the corporation!

I love how it still looks chunky and low-poly. They could have made it super high res and fancy, but nah, they're preserving the retro aesthetic.

I love that there's a tiger there purely for intimidation tactics.

Each fiscal quarter, companies want to make more and more profit. If they aren't making more profit, they see it as a failure.

Eventually, a point is reached where you can't raise the price of your product or service any more without people leaving. You're draining your customers for everything they have, but you're still just barely beating out last quarter's profits.

So in desparation, you need to do whatever you can to see profits this quarter. Drop that feature, fire this team, and you've just barely beat last quarter. Phew.

But now we have this quarter to worry about, and we've burned a bit of goodwill with our consumers by removing that feature, and we're short-staffed because we laid off all these people.

And the cycle repeats, trading in long term longevity for short-term profits.

Eh, I -like- the clear, chunky pixels. No filters, integer scaling.

It's a classic Turkish move for undercover police to offer membership into the Pen 15 Club, then arrest them when they accept.

Literally, it means no mods.

But sometimes performance mods are allowed.

Or sometimes certain launchers are allowed.

Sometimes texture packs aren't.

Or shaders are.

Or playing with keepInventory on or doFireTick off isn't.

I have no goddamn clue anymore.

They soften much earlier, though. And there's also the friction of moving against the road.
