On the topic of why everyone uses discord for repositories of knowledge and small communities its function as an instant messenger first an foremost bypasses the attention economy rent seeking of the other social media. If you announce a local competitive tournament event on twitter maybe 1 in 10 of potentially interested people ever see it in their feeds. Same as on Facebook. On reedit, unless its pinned, its probably going to get buried by that days 100 memes and 50 arguments. positing it on a wiki is kinda bloated and people have no way of knowing to check (same applies to major balance updates etc). Posting it as a thread in #Fight_Club_IRL on your communities discord means people are going to see it, you can have rolls where people have opted in for alerts in their local area or just in general specific to that. Its an actually functional communications tool, for now. That is to say, in general it still acts as a common carrier of information.

Mercury_Storm posted:Does anyone know how much free API access might have actually been costing Reddit, or Twitter for that matter? Does seem like a flailing move to try and respond to VC money and low interest rates drying up regardless. If they did what wikipedia does (or a Freepathon lol) and just begged for money they probably would have gotten enough to cover costs, but maybe that wouldn't look as good for ~~the investors~~~. The primary cost is currently opportunity cost, this is largely a response to being scraped for profit by the Machine Learning Marketing firms. Probably between 1/100000 and 1/10000th of a cent depending on the size of the post. 1/100th for 10 min of audio, 1/20th for 10 min of video. Reddit uses their API very inefficiently when self dealing, like by an almost comical amount. I would not be surprised if they were doing basically everything as inefficiently as possible even when handling API calls. By their own numbers opening the reddit app should cost like 25 cents for 30 minutes.

They are looking to recoup a loss off a company that directly profited from activities that worsened the loss (promoting, hosting ,and advertising on videos explaining in detail how to steal these vehicles). They probably expect a fairly limited recovery but when your throwing that much money around it makes sense to try anyway.

Spaces are tricky. For example, try blocking butt and strip whitespace and you get blocks on 'but the'
