Twitter now blocking all DMs from non-Twitter Blue subscribers by default
Elon Musk just turned your DMs into an ad for Twitter Blue. But you can change it back. Here's how.
You're viewing a single thread.
Who knew that removing functionality and limiting access to your product was the path to social media success.
Apparently reddit attended the same workshop.
Spez literally said in an interview that Musk's handling of twitter is what inspired him so
“This guy lost like $30B under a year. I wanna be just like him!”
How fucking stupid are these people?
The thing to remember is that CEOs aren't typically any smarter than the average person. They ended up in that position from inheritances, personal connections, etc. In the case of Musk, he has so much disposable income around that he can throw $30B at something and still have more than you or I will ever earn in a lifetime.
Ever see Glass Onion? Musk (and spez) are Miles Bron.
We’re Disruptors.
I actually haven't but added it to my list of movies I need to watch. Thanks!!
But you just know he has people that are on the payroll specifically to advise him and develop strategy. Either they’re surrounded by yesmen or they’re too arrogant to listen to the people they pay for advice. Okay, it’s probably both.
Spez sold Reddit for some small $mils before failing his other project and returning as a hired CEO. He is a cheapskate among media magnates. He isn't clever and is a loser. He adores Elon because he wishes he can throw money around just like him, but on the day's end he knows he doesn't have comparable wealth and he is there just because he happened to be around Aaron Swartz and other cool dudes. He himself couldn't create Reddit. And being the top admin of it now is probably the closest thing in corporate world to cuckolding, for he doesn't have a word in managing the 'frontpage of the internet' he once owned, he just follows what the board says him to. Sad piece of shit he is. Won't cry about him tho. Let misery fall onto his little empty head.
Spez was also a former mod of r/jailbait and no one should ever forget that.
They also gifted a statuette to u/violentacrez or what's his handle? for powermodding dozens of nsfw subs, including borderline paedophilic, violent and abusive ones, like revenge porn partners upload after a break up to hurt their ex-couple.
They did great at handling the search of a boston bomber. Fuck ups happen way more often than forum dudes finding ISIS camp by triangulating the sky in a picture. I'm kinda happy to have this viral and well-documented drama to refer.
They rarely ever did their job before the press got involved, or they step into prison sentence territory. My personal favorite waa when altright sub stickied a link to crowdfund a contract killer for a guy who punched a right-wing talking head Robert Spencer on camera. Then, you have fatpeoplehate and other subs that weren't as dense and worked for years. Right before Spez's very eyes. Not to say some mass-shooters were frequenting and were inspired by these spaces too.
While modding jailbait is discussed (like, you could promote to a mod role everyone – that's how he excuse it), these things were consciously enabled by him. He platformed the worst people you can think of. And it sure shall not be forgotten.
They're welcome to write me a check for 30 billion if they are looking to waste it. Jeez.
I need a link 👀
Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.
Wait, really?! How?
They just announced they're removing the coins/awards system.
How else are we supposed to know that the [removed] comment at the top of r/news or r/politics was the best content in the thread?
I don't know, but don't read it unless they gilded themselves 3 times... whoops.
They also deleted all chat history from prior to this year.
I think they also plan to block you viewing Reddit in mobile browsers so you must get their app.
And that will be when I completely stop browsing Reddit. I already dropped my useage by probably 95%. If they do that, it'll drop to about 99.9% since I do most of my browsing away from my desk.
For real lol. It was my “information” app for coffee breaks at work or when I had downtime. I’m only at my computer to game, not browse Reddit
