    Remember when sites would make bad decisions and then just, you know… fucking die? Reddit’s entire existence is owed to Digg imploding like the Titan submarine.

    Notice how that doesn’t happen anymore? No matter how egregious their infractions, no movements away from Twitter or Facebook - no matter how deeply they are infiltrated/compromised by runaway fascism/capitalism - nothing has an impact. No backlash, no matter how huge - is strong enough to shutter these sites and make them stop being money-printing operations.

    It’s almost like there is an infinite money glitch going on and no matter what, if you’re in the “in” crowd, your shit gets to stay around no matter how much everybody thinks it smells like shit.

    Hm.

      Because the Internet was smaller and was made up of select demographics.

      Now, something that’s completely unacceptable to some of the population won’t even register with the majority.

        its actually pretty hard to use the site as a new user, thier ban filters,botting filter is set so high right now its easy to get banned, or your comments removed, immediately, even if you are using illicit evasion methods.
