Like many other subs (apparently over 5000 [https://www.twitch.tv/reddark_247])
/r/joplinapp is going dark for the duration of the blackout. The HN thread about
it (or one of them): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36283249
[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36283249] One of the top comment puts it
nicely: > The cheek of Reddits management is incredible. They’ve taken hundreds
of millions in VC money hired an army of developers and yet delivered nothing to
improve the user experience. All we seem to have have got out of is new reddit,
a terrible, slow facebook like version of the site and an absolutely terrible
mobile app. Where the hell did the money go? They use the time, labour,
creativity, stories, humour, talent, wisdom, advice, skills of their users to
try and make themselves billionaires whilst delivering a hopeless piece of tech
in return, thats only been made useable by others people writing software to
make the site bearable, Reddit Enhancement suite, Apollo, RIF. And yet here they
are ready to make it rubbish again to get their filthy lucre. The more I think
about it the more infuriated I get.
