  • I did it but left a few select support subreddits out of it, I just checked (thanks to you, thanks btw) and it seems my shit is still deleted, though I found out there’s at least one subreddit that logged comments as posts citing the usernames they’re from, seemingly for scraping and data aggregation purposes, since they’re without any context other than the title post and subreddit they’re from.

    Seems to be dead for at least three years, but it’s still creepy.

    Btw I’m certain there are many backups existing somewhere, maybe not public accessible but there must be






  • I was really interested in it when it came out on my region and still use it, better than acting like it’s up to me to manually decide which content creator I bless with any sort of payment and which I don’t.

    If ads were the only reason, I know how to evade them in just about every platform I use.


  • Nah, because no alternative can be a complete replacement and if it’s not the exact same experience, people aren’t willing to put that tiniest bit of effort.

    Again, look at Reddit as an example, alternatives exist, yet none of them are the exact same because there’s not a comparable size, and because of that people will just pull down their pants and begrudgingly accept reddit’s problems.


  • And they’re not losing us any time soon, for years I’ve seen people saying that YouTube is going down because they do shit the users don’t like and yet everyone keeps using them and in general making no effort in changing that.

    It’s just like Reddit, a few of us left but that didn’t change anything, everyone’s still using it and they’re not stopping any time soon.

    Even if not abandoning the platform, it would only take a decent portion of the users reducing their use of the platform for them to feel a punishment of some sort, but nobody’s really willing to do anything other than complain and automatically dismiss any suggestion of an alternative.












  • Afaik, we actually don’t know, we have so many years of research and technique development of running with arched footwear than with archless and barefoot running, there’s no sufficient incentive to research and test it at full Sprint (heh) and thus research for it goes at a snail pace.

    As a reference of how important this research is, nowadays there are banned running shoes you can’t use in competition because of the advantage they give you and they have to be previously be approved as opposed to individually banned. A new shoe can shave seconds off a professional runner’s time.
