I don't see Reddit dying as a business. If you ever looked at the front page, you'll see tons of redditors buying Reddit's virtual coins to promote posts. Reddit is basically getting free money from doing nothing.
Some of that is astroturfed to "prime the pump" for more people to fork over money. But yeah enough people still buy gold that it's insanely more profitable than ads.
In regards to Visa and Mastercard, this is why I've started to really like crytocoins. No list saying "ban this person", no political bullshit, no payment pulling, etc. Yes, the volatility is obviously an issue, along with the dozens and dozens of coins now available, but freedom has never felt so good.I'm gonna beas ever and hope and pray that all of these companies face antitrust lawsuits in the near future - Visa, Mastercard, Disney, Comcast, Verizon - all of them should have been broken up yesterday.

There's a certain subset of feminists that doesn't mind MGTOW dudes for exactly this reason. I know a radfem who thinks MGTOW is a perfectly fine movement because it's misogynists going out of their way to leave women alone. It works for everyone, lol.
Liberals / SJWs use ethic. It's impossible to defeat ethic with logic, i.e. ideology, because they are mutually exclusive. Many libertarians will attack you for "being emotional" when you start to make ethical arguments or say your policies are against the US constitution.Speaking about SJWs, you need tools with language and the interpretation of language in order to fight against them: their main weapon is language, hence straw and ad homiem fallacies and placing pathos into logos. They know how to tug on emotions and heartstrings, and that's where you need to play the game.
And my argumentation fell flat because I sounded like a SJW instead of just saying "hey, this is what a SJW sounds like and here's the counterargument"
Eh, i'll do better next time.
Yeah, I've dealt with more than my fair share of those logic-ethic flipping retards, though I know it as flipping between logos and pathos to prove their point at any cost.
That's the liberal's goal. "if you don't have anything nice to say than don't say it at all" Oversocialization. They want to create a fake society of yesman; no criticism or accountability because that hurts the feelings of other people and/or they're low self-esteem so that hurts their feelings. Look at that war against accountability where liberals rebrand keeping other people accountable as harassment or bullying. Everything we see today was already the liberal culture in the 90s or 00s and they're just making it the mainstream culture today through their "community guidelines" and "hate speech" policies.
I have become more convinced over time that internet "free speech" actually refers to the ability to post and host porn. That's one topic that le Skeptics will defend, regardless if they are "Left" or "Right."
When Trump says “Mexico is sending they’re drug dealers and rapists”, who specifically is Trump referring to?
Lmao most of the users on Reddit probably barely noticed that anything happened. It seems like a big deal to us faggots, but most people on that site don't give a shit about terfs or doomers or edgy niche memes. Reddit's just instagram for people who think they're too cool for instagram but are also too scared to go on a forum incase they get called a nigger or doxed. People post pictured of their dogs, their ugly kids, their gamer tags, their craft project or their dying gran, everyone claps and gives them useless stickers, rinse and repeat. Occasionally some unpopular opinion might crawl to the surface, but the front page is like 70% bragging and/or self promotion, 20% thinly veiled porn, 10% recycled memes and askreddit threads. r/PCM gets there sometimes, but that's not what the bulk of users come to see.
I think it won't just from this. In a lot of the smaller hobby or game subs there's barely been any mention of the large announcement because it doesn't really matter to the communities that frequent those kinds of subs. It's pretty much business as usual for those kinds of subs.
Or worse, in my opinion, are happy about it. They see themselves as fighting the good fight, and combatting the plague of wrongthink spreading across the internet, but what happens when they come for the subs they enjoy. Well, these subs supported Trump, so it's okay to ban them, right? What about when they start banning people whom you share your opinions with? Look at how salty Chapo Trap House users got when their sub got the axe. It's all fun and games when the people they don't like get kicked off, but when it's them? Well, now that's just too far
The thing about the chapocels is that they won't leave. They'll just take it up the ass from big corpo and eventually they'll go back to defending it. Right wingers left over time. They won't play the game anymore. The more convinced ones left first but now even the KiA and T_D boomers are leaving.
If most of reddit are just r/pics normies, they wouldn't have tended to venture far out from the mainstream subs anyway, so they'd never run into the edgier ones. Edgi bois tended to stick to their home subs, anyway, since they'd just get downvoted to oblivion for daring to speak up, or shadowbanned if they had ever, even once, posted in a sub deemed too edgy by the powermods.
As long as leddit doesn't force everyone to use the new UI (like Digg did) it won't have such a big decline.
I'm actually really, really surprised they haven't deleted old.reddit.com for good yet.
I think they know people hate the new UI based on analytics and canceled the change. Almost nobody uses it afaik.
Yes, but we all know that de facto it just means "icky evil people we disagree with can be criticized", so if you're a woman you're fine unless you're one of them evil TERFs.
