MODERATORS
Perfectly reasonable IMO. That said I’m still not going to use reddit again
Just sad that's what the Internet has come to, microtransactions for using an app for a website that just aggregates links. Not to mention reddit has already gimped your third party access with the NSFW stuff and I'm sure more is on its way. Fuuuuuck off reddit
I guess the era of getting everything for free wasn’t entirely sustainable after all. Who would have thought.
It’s absolutely sustainable- but once you aren’t satisfied with sustainability and want it to produce an ever growing profit, that’s when things start going sideways and eventually downhill.
Late stage capitalism in action
