Interesting they call this place a cesspool when people literally had to force Reddit's hand to get rid of pedophile and revenge porn subreddits which they gladly would have just sat on otherwise lol.

weren't some SA people part of that?

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I don't care if you are reading it constantly in American novels, I don't want to see anyone start sentences with the word 'and'.

That was me posing as my high school english teacher. And she was a woman.

lmao stock for a company that has never made money and pays a CEO who everyone despises $200 million goes up by 50% on first day of trading



I guess it had to be that way, the wallstreetbets people had all voted to short the stock. If wallstreetbets is doing something you know it's a terrible idea.

Yeah wallstreetbets is pumping it up, but the true worth of Reddit at this point is probably all the data reddit can sell to AI companies.

Having originally regged in 07 I don’t think I’d ever call SA a cesspool. Pockets of pus here and there for sure .Also Reddit has some value but dear god the frequent first comment being a pseudo witty remark followed by a series of dumber and dumber coattail comments and puns gets old real fast.

it's gotten so much worse now.
even on specialized subreddits for more niche interests (very often the only place to find up-to-date information), you're cursed to sift through one-thousand letterboxd-tier 'jokes' that are being rapid-fire beamed into your skull through your eye sockets.
it's like looking into the sun

Aren't places like the NYTimes like 90% opinion articles now? Like they're not better than a blog collective and that's loving depressing. I feel like journalistic reporting is a thing of the past and it's depressing as hell.

Anyway, NYT op-ed wants to get in on Reddit IPO. They go together like an itchy dog butt and carpet you just cleaned.

The internet was a smaller place back then.

Zack actually got a few angry emails from the guys over at BadCandy for stealing their gimmick. He ended up recommending the site anyway, saying it was funny.

I-Mockery was a good site too, still updated regularly until a few years ago. The owners SO died and he had trouble dealing with it.
