npub1gfdrrw9629qxwvwaa3vwnvzhtaqu2c5m9wf6vcwjnmdnhs7hl4jsux7gg6 (npub1gfd…7gg6) I never spent money on #Reddit gold coins or avatar tweaks. I only saw it as a way for them to further line their pockets with cash with zero value-add to the user.
On the surface, it's a #free forum site with communities for just about every topic imaginable. Under the surface, the users ARE the product. Every other conglomerate-owned #socialmedia platform does this.
However, this one feels different, especially where other platforms have tripped and fallen over major #greed driven changes which also have major #ethical ramifications. The lessons learned from these other platforms were seemingly ignored and valuable case studies were overlooked, again.
When the #api drama unfolded last summer surrounding 3rd party apps, Musk was well underway destroying #Twitter. More missed opportunities on how NOT to run a social media platform.
Reddit already admitted another blackout will hurt them. This will do the same.
