Reposting something I wrote on reddit 4 years ago before abandoning the website, because damn I was cooking
![Not so for the admins. Reddit, the company, is not concerned with authenticity, despite what any of their spokespeople would claim. As a corporate asset, reddit.com is tuned to bring in a profit. The site makes money from ads and awards, and both of those things require the userbase to provide all the links and comments and to generate discussion. But here's the catch: none of that profit scheme requires authenticity. It only requires activity and interaction.
In this system, repost bots are incredibly valuable! As long as there's no blowback over it, the awards and page views spurred by bot posting translate directly to money. Reddit needs to fight spam - the annoying kind that threatens to drive people away by turning the front page into a crypto and OnlyFans shill cesspool - but they don't need to fight artifice. They have every reason to love it. And I'd even go as far as to suggest that if they can look the other way for bots farming cute animal posts, they'll do it for propaganda and other manipulation too. Whatever makes profit go up is good, and whatever threatens it is bad. The Anti-Evil Operations team can't change that basic fact of corporate amorality.
What I've learned from looking into [account name] makes me more certain than ever that, without a serious change of heart at the admin level, reddit is a lost cause. Bots talking to bots, as far as the eye can see, generating convenient and hollow content engagement for the userbase and advertisers, forever.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:akyqcrrfagoeylmogyr3xmlw/bafkreig4g6iocee26trruharcgaiwuhfrni63zx34jiziquv2f7ycnzcoe@jpeg)

You’re right—swallowing the bird was a half-measure. The bird did eat the spider, as planned, but now you have a bird in you. It reminds you of swallowing the spider to catch the fly. You’re seeing the pattern.
Would you like me to suggest some animals which could eat the bird?

Maybe *this* will be the bsky app update that stops it disconnecting every 5 minutes for no reason, I say, a grinning moron, watching Lucy prop up the football once more

Few people have been as vindicated as Mia Wong who for literal years has ended every post with a call to destroy ICE

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿♂️
They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside.
No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡
And people stop caring before truth hits

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

A tasty example: selfie inside car while wearing sunglasses and not smiling. (You know the ones. Bonus points for MAGA hat.) That's a person who's avoided introspection so long and wallowed in bitterness so deeply that their hostile facade is the only self-image they have left.
Small blessing: on the internet there is no way to try to look badass without looking cringe instead. Roman statue pfp, "pithy" saying in bio, skull art, muscle selfie, gun, lifted truck - doesn't matter what you do, you're immediately clocked as a tryhard loser. I unironically love that for us.

Watching a streamer play a game with lore is so infuriating. Characters will be on screen dropping vital clues while the person is looking at a totally different monitor going "oh my god thank you ParaSocial69 for the 12 months resub!!" and then acting totally confused later on when plot happens.

You gotta hand it to a technology that becomes so ubiquitous and taken for granted that people mistake it for the laws of physics.
Like, that’s what those weird metal triangle things above doors are.

We've sat through literal decades of fragile whiners going "bro sexism isn't a Thing anymore just shut up about feminism", and then from DAY ONE of the Grok image edit thing existing, its reply feed is just a firehose of men sexually harassing random women for sport

When the post-9/11 clownery happened, I was young and stupid and thought "surely we have solid leaders and wouldn't be The Bad Guys in something as serious as a war". I cheered the troops and believed official media statements.
I'm still stupid, but I won't make those mistakes again.

It's very funny when NPR is
interviewing an expert in something and it all feels fairly normal and evenhanded and then at the end they're like "and that was Christopher Halliburton from the Center for Exploding Venezuela"

As I reflect on another year past, one strong feeling is that whimsy and silliness are worth holding onto. Yes, be responsible and grown up, take care of yourself and others - but keep that spark of spontaneous joy alive. What's the point of all this if you can't be a goofy little guy sometimes?

Mandatory ads and tracking on a TV that you pay hundreds of dollars for is so insulting. How did we let this become the new normal?

My contempt for LLM writing has reached the level where if I scan someone's profile and all their posts sound like ChatGPT "it's not X, it's Y" slop I'll just block them immediately. No use for people whose communication is so vapid that they sound like a machine, whether deliberately or not.
