Call me dumb if you want, but I still see a big issue in MSFT’s naming convention for XBox. They need to stop trying to be clever and just do something sequential.

Agreed! I can’t stand these clickbait thumbnails.

Money is the supreme value above all others in USA culture.

Let’s be fair here. Money is the supreme value above all others in ALL of modern culture. Not just USA. If you have a billion dollars you can do basically anything you want, anywhere you want to do it.

It will just turn into something completely unrecognizable compared to what it was.

Completely agreed. Reddit won’t die, but it also won’t be the “front page of the internet” as it was from 2016-2022 or so.

Man, I don’t know. I know this is just a personal anecdote, but around my friend circle, I haven’t gotten a single share from reddit in over a month when we used to send links back and forth daily. Those same people have said they haven’t visited reddit in a month, other than the rare checkin on the drama.

I’m sure the significance of the impact is relatively small, but I’d also guess many of those that left were heavy users and contributors. I’ll go over there to check every few days and have noticed the content quality is significantly worse than 2 months ago.

That said, it is also very possible this whole thing blows over and the million or so of us that left are meaningless in reddits overall lifespan.

I’ve assumed all “personal” stories on reddit were fake since I started reading reddit. I’m sure that isn’t true of all of them, but I’ve found it better for my mental health to just assume those stories are all fiction or creative writing exercises.
