They already have one in brazil and pfizer is now developing a twice a day pill to deal with it to take on top of your boostershot. Probably an off brand ivermetecin. And with higher price tag.

Looked it up and apparently it's going to be a protease inhibitor pill, so not ivermectin (which belongs to the avermectin class of drugs).

Everything that's happening re: "Freeze Peach" on Reddit now must be filtered through the sieve of (1) their upcoming IPO and (2) the moves of (factions like these), Mr. 'Spez' may not last long after the IPO.

My predictions after the IPO:
  • All 'edgy' content purged (obviously already happening)
  • Removing access to third-party apps like Apollo on iOS or Sync on Android so all ads can be controlled via the official app
  • Full Porn purge
  • Removal of spez
  • Decline into irrelevance
  • Site sells for $50 to digg
Reddit just doesn't have the hook for investors. "Wait, my company/content/actor, etc can be downvoted???"
 
Lol, I actually got perma'd for simply stating that powermods whining to shut down subs they don't like and holding hobby subs as political hostage is disgusting and sets horrible precedent.
When I told them I had broken absolutely no rules they said "we ban you anyway, go away" and then muted me like a child. Literally assmad jannies who will perma you on first infraction for actually calling them out on their shit.

Can't wait for r/conservative to go down because r/pokemongo and r/facepalm go dark in "muh protest".
 
Just fucking shut down Reddit at this point, dear God.
It's so bad there I can't even laugh at how stupid people are anymore.

The first thing will be to 'fix' that so paid content no longer needs to be marked and it will look like you can downvote it but it won't do anything.

I'm guessing it may be subtle, paid PR people will be able to go into subreddits and mark specific organic posts to be mostly upvoted or mostly downvoted.

lmao one time i got IP banned for saying "reddit is for faggots"
the funniest part? it was in DM's with a trusted person. in other words, Reddit is automatically banning strings of words like with no report needed

There is a system for banning the faggot word. I just can't believe I got perma'd in an unrelated hobby sub for saying powermods are bad.

Something like this is already happening if you are a downie who browses reddit without an adblocker, you'll have actual adverts mixed in with the posts, giving the impression that it's a popular topic mixed in with the posts. The only difference of course is that you can't comment on said advert.

I dunno about that. Le Elon Musk himself wouldn't be half of the man he is without the viral marketing shit peddled to boost stock prices on reddit.

We live in an age where there is now a whole industry of boutique reusable drinking straws because of some one-off PR campaign for some "charity" activist group scrounging for donations who said that the old normal ones kill whales with microplastics thrown directly into the ocean. Don't tell me that the viral marketing shit doesn't work and that the big investors don't see it. We all saw Kony 2012.

It isn't widely talked about but shit like recent events makes it pretty obvious that how social media site are administrated has a substantial influence on how topics are discussed online. They then shit into twitters mouth who shits into facebooks mouth etc. They then create internet phenomena that bleed into real life. Sadly.

I know you are trying to make a point about it losing it's appeal but this stuff operates on inertia. It is popular because that is where popular people hang out to discuss the popular thing. If there isn't an alternative then they are going to stay pat. This isn't the old wild-west internet. It is being domesticated and you are being given very few alternatives if you want to discuss things in certain ways.
