unlimited file transfers, unlike competitors.

Looking into my crystal ball…

I give this 2-3 months before file transfers are limited due to multi-terrabyte daily transfers from accounts hosting pirated media.

and might even get better

I honestly doubt it. I don’t think it is possible for reddit to be profitable in anything like its current form.

Twitter, before the EM implosion, had managed one profitable year in the last decade.

Reddit has about 2 orders of magnitude less users than twitter.

Those users are much less attractive to advertisers because reddit knows fuck all about them compared to twitter.

Reddit surfed through the years of cheap vc money but going public could kill it.

Are we still doing phrasing?

After all, the 24 hour news cycle lives on scandals.

And because it is a 24 hour cycle, the scandal will be forgotten and replaced with a new one in the same amount of time.

Well, if it brings you joy, fill your boots.

From the horse or the person swinging the stick?

(When people let their anger get the best of them they often, regrettably, start to resemble the focus of their anger.)

Take The Money and Run?

I was thinking more along the lines of: The Gambler

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away and know when to run

Except they should have walked away about 4 years ago…when their chip stack was a much larger pile. Now they are trying to run with what they have left.

Honestly, why bother?

Management has been wanting to cash out for a decade.

The IPO will go ahead, the reddit of the days of yore is dead. It will not improve.

The horse is dead, beating it will just make you hot, sweaty and your arm sore.

No matter what you feel about the place it was never going to go any other way.

They are about 2 years too late.

The rise in interest rates and the end of easy VC money has swung the dial back to: Companies actually need to generate profit and not just show user growth to be attractive to investors.

The IPO will not go as spez dreamed for so long.

firefox and ublock, which works for me. From what I have read this is happening to chrome users.

Or Newpipe

or Revanced

or Freetube.

True, but when tied to an IP address known to be used by a suspected person, it can be used as evidence.

Evidence of what?

That someone was making shit up on reddit? That is all that it proves.

It proves nothing else.

It does not prove that what was written is true.

It does not prove who wrote the comment.

Legally, not really. A username is also not a person.

This is a fishing expedition by the producers, nothing more.

From the article:

Another reason Reddit refuses to comply with the film producers’ request is that “none of the posts depicted in Exhibit A to the subpoena appear to relate to movies that we understand are the subject of" the copyright infringement claims.

The users made no reference to pirating IP owned by the producers.

Our local library makes you log in to use the wifi, so theoretically they know who is doing it and the terms of use you agree to would probably cover them.

If you are using a VPN they wouldn’t know what the traffic is and most public wifi has pretty strict usage caps so I doubt it would be worth your while.

If you use public wifi without a VPN…

I use the feedbro extension of FF on desktop. Works fine.

and wait till Apple complies with the EU order

I thought the EU had determined that iMessage will not be subject to the open messaging provisions.

iMessage will reportedly dodge EU regulations, won’t have to open up

No. That is beeper.

Beeper mini is a stand alone app that was acquired by beeper that does not do the MITM shit.

See the comment by @cm0002 for details.

Still don’t think it is a good idea. As another comment stated I expected apple to block it in the near future.

Real my first troll account energy.

I remember being 14.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Bigot…

That might work. ProtonVPN has servers in HK
