  • No I want both of them to unalive, preferably as violently as possible. Unemployment is a vastly flawed metric that doesn’t account for underemployment or discouraged workers, and real wages would be significantly down if the government was accurately measuring inflation, which they’re intentionally not doing so they can continue to pretend that everything’s fine.













  • Preaching to the choir there. But with that being said, a lot of the actual content creators on reddit have jumped ship. It’s still going but it’s not as busy as it used to be, and upvote/comment numbers are down across almost every sub whenever I look at it. There is clearly a market for that form of content, seeing how it has frequently been plagiarized by Youtubers, instagrammers, and now tiktokers for the past decade or so. If that content truly falls off then reddit will be in serious trouble.


  • Sure, but at the same time all of the casual redditors who somehow weren’t aware of the controversy (the ones making threads asking who spez is, for example) are now going to learn more about the controversy and be informed enough to make their own decisions on continuing to use the site. For the short term their engagement will go up but it’s very possible that their long-term engagement drops even further after this decision

    Thanks! For some sick twisted reason I actually enjoy doing stuff like this, maybe because my teachers always hated my essays in school and I need validation that my writing style isn’t complete garbage. I’m glad to know some people are getting value out of the work I put into it.
