Can confirm here in New Zealand too. Well into the 80's in the relative mainstream, and even seen up to at least the mid-90's in mail-order catalogues (of general household goods).

Spring's own tutorials aren't a bad place to start.

Name any medium in which people can anonymously contribute, where toxicity isn't present 'sometimes'.

I have been sparing the almighty hell out of mine. When they drop it will be epic.

We must change them!

Require them to symbolically emote at least once per post/comment.

In that case let's really blow your mind...

A Kiwi is a bird or a person, not a fruit.

... Also New Zealand is comprised of three major islands North Island, South Island and West Island... Also some of my facts may be slightly inaccurate - but not the bit about the fruit.

I missed the other ones... Must've been hiding behind the first one...

We would. And we'd tend not to be using such verbose variable names. Avoiding abbreviation in the method and type-names is idiomatic though.

Maybe they go skiing the other months.

Essentially it boils down to - ways in which they can turn users into money.

  • Control the content you see - Especially ads which provide income. Also injecting posts into your stream regardless of preferences to direct views towards sponsors preferences or to try to extend engagement.
  • More visibility over user activity - It gives them better tools to manipulate users habits (that pesky engagement), and better (for them), user telemetry can be sold (people who like X like Y is useful knowledge but it can go far deeper than this).
  • They want to discourage content that discourages advertisers - mostly this is NSFW content (since the advertisers don't want their ads showing beside NSFW content) but I expect it'll begin to span more than that over time.

With the elimination of third party apps, you can bet that 'old Reddit' is on the chopping-block soon too (mostly to boost ad views)
