The question is, numbers-wise, how many of us actually left reddit?

I mean, that’s kind of exactly what happened. He was “Athens’ gadfly”, always asking people what they believed, and why they believed it. Eventually it annoyed some relatively influential Athenians, to the point that they accused him of something like “corrupting the youth” (I don’t quite remember, it was some BS like that).

The punishment for breaking that law was technically supposed to be death, but if you were a citizen you could plead for exile (and your plea would usually be granted). Socrates, however, obstinately refused to plead the council for anything. As a result, he was scheduled to be executed. I suppose you could say he died because he held his ideals to be more important than his own life — or you could equally say he died of his own stubbornness. Either way, not too far off from your comment.

I mean… 4 hugs a day is my upper limit, guys. Even that is a little excessive.

while expected tipping in general is ridiculous, expected tipping to landlords is some next level stupidity.

in the interest of absolute pedantry, I’d like to point out that they do, in fact, have a publicly available API — it just costs money to use.

Now, on one hand, it’s only 24 cents per 1000 API calls (which is very little for individual use, but adds up quickly for any sort of widely used tool or service). On the other hand, fuck reddit lol.

thank you for the info, noted, incredibly based

They make them money because:

• they use reddit
• spez gets some nice usage stats to show off
• as a direct consequence, advertisers keep paying to put their ads
• also as a direct consequence, investors’ confidence in reddit continues to recover; there’s a real possibility that, when it IPOs, it will actually go for a decent price

Now, if enough people go commit ad-block, and advertisers somehow become wise to that fact… then maybe it will hurt reddit’s bottom line (at which point spez will start trying to emulate youtube’s anti-ad stuff).

But as it stands, especially if most of reddit’s usage is through reddit’s mobile app… I’m not really sure how you can block ads there.

ayy
