Thought the same. 10 Mil and having the people I love in my life is enough. Just don’t forget to wire the 10 Mil.

“ Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I’m a lawyer defending a major record company, and I’m talkin’ about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense!

None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you’re in that jury room deliberatin’ and conjugatin’ the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit!

The defense rests.”

Sorry, but the real threat to what exactly?

Edited: aside from Taiwan, Hong Kong, several other nations in the east. My question was more in the context of China as a threat to anything in the western hemisphere. They are the eastern version of the US, no doubt about it.

Star Trek: The Super Mario Genration. “Let’s a engage!”

Well, it is feasible. You just need to give people replicators and free living space, and they will eventually learn to use their skills to enrich the world we live in. And boldly go where no one has gone before.

He is running on ego at this point. And he let things get to the point of no return. People are moving away from Reddit, and even if the Spez guy undoes everything, third party apps won’t return, because they know they are one hissy fit, one stock offering, one bad CEO away from having to shut down again.

It may have started this way, but now we’ll have o see what Reddit will become. I have my Lemmy account and my popcorn ready.

Yep. But here is the snag: even though regular users generate traffic, power users (such as mods, people who want to have a better user experience through third party apps, people who engage in fights about usability) are those who generate and moderate content.

So driving them away will drive revenue away in short, medium and long term.

Tons of marketing sites have already recommended advertisers to stop advertising on Reddit, at least until this whole thing has settled.

The best part is the Spez guy never thought open source alternatives already existed, so he will actually speed up the end of his platform. I would bet that there won’t be an IPO any time soon, and the Spez guy is the main culprit.
