Workaholism .... whenever I feel bad about anything or anyone ... I just work endlessly with my hands and manual labour .. nothing like shovelling dirt or hammering nails to make you forget the world for a while ... plus you end up with something you fixed, repaired or built in the end

Now we must do all this in a noisy place where it is dark and many people are also ingesting liquids that are affecting their logic. It is quite dangerous ... someone may lose an eye.

What? ... what's that? ... wait ... let me buy the 'listening app' for $3.99 monthly subscription first ... oh yeah, now I hear you ... yeah, feels shitty being a product ... oh wait ... now I have to buy the $5.99 one time payment app 'thoughts and feelings' ... there, now I feel I can feel it ... yeah .. feels shitty

In order to fail, you first have to achieve something .... and in terms of the wider universe and our planet ... humanity has only just started

This is exactly how I think humanity will play out the climate crisis .... 'let's maintain the economy and wealth of a handful of people, let the majority die, let the population go down and everything will eventually equalize and normalize after millions die off'

So, if you aren't wealthy now ... you'll be dead soon

I think part of it is about retention .... retaining all those users, especially those with high karma levels (or at least users who believe they have high karma) from abandoning the site and ending their accounts.

I'm currently in the process of ending my four accounts I have on reddit. Two of them are over 100,000 in karma and when I read this post, the very first thing that popped into my mind was .... HOW MUCH WILL MY ACCOUNTS BE WORTH?

So it's now making me think ... if I can just keep up my account for another while, maybe I can cash in on all that karma I accumulated.

I am sure that many other redditors are thinking the same. The way this reddit admin posted the info is really weird too ... it sounded like some salesman just enticing people into an idea but not fully being able to say much about it and instead making vague suggestions that something big is coming in the future.

I know a sales job when I see one .... and this is a sales job. Many people will fall for it ... if not just to hang on to see if they can at least cash in our something ... anything when the announcement happens.

Say or think what you want about me ... but I'm ending this relationship and deleting my accounts ... I don't trust big corporations to say or do anything that might give me a chance at anything. Any action they elicit from me or any user will be gamed to only benefit them. If not enough people figure that out ... reddit will make bank in the short term and that is all they are counting on.

Also ... Reddit is a private business where people were allowed to come in to chat and talk ... don't act surprised when the owners and managers change their minds for whatever reason and decide to kick you out.

It's the company's space, like the lobby of a shopping mall ... people are freely allowed to come in, sit down and chat .. don't be surprised if the owners of the mall decide one day that they no longer like you any more and bring security in to escort you out.

You have no rights or privileges on a private social media site ... you have temporary permissions .. and those can be changed, disregarded, forgotten or done away with at the discretion of the owners at any time for any reason.

LEAVE REDDIT ... you're on someone else's lawn and they don't like you any more.
