I have to say I also watch videos in background while doing other stuff, but that doesn’t make it a better medium to convey information, just more practical when the information is not important enough to be the main focus of someone’s attention, and that’s pretty subjective.
But I do get the point, I just wish it was different.
I really don’t get this trend of turning everything into a video. Is it supposed to be easier to consume?
I would much rather read an article and get the information I want at the pace I want.
I haven’t been following anything regarding Threads so I assumed it was out here in Europe too, it’s actually a relief that it isn’t. Won’t stay long like this, but it’s something.
Same, I tried to move to Signal a couple years ago, but I couldn’t get anybody except one friend to follow, so I gave up on it. I would try again, but I know it wouldn’t go any different, yet.
I kept reading of this so I went and had a look. It’s a bit worse than usual, and I saw the Doordarsh posts, but nothing else: this isnt a catastrophic end, it’s just continuing on its slow decline as it has already bean for a while now.
Ah fuck, back to the drawing board!
How will enjoying the internet look like in the future? Lots of things we took for granted clearly weren’t, and now we’re used to a kind of internet that might just not be sustainable.
I guess things aren’t looking too good.
Step 1: Announce very unpopular changes Step 2: Ignore backlash, go through with the plan Step 3: Predictably, lose users and advertisers Step 4: ??? Step 5: Why advertise on reddit?
That’s a fair point, sorting by new is a great way to hunt for good content and help it get traction, but maybe right now it’s more effort than it should be.
Having said this, adding a waiting time before posting again might just as easily prove more inconvenient to legit users than those who spam posts, but I’d support it at least for the time being, as discussion right now is spread over several communities so sorting by new on a single community wouldn’t help much most of the times.
Exactly, we’re not defined by our relationship with Reddit.
