Both Reddit and Twitter making sure their data won't be used for training chat bots without a hefty price tag

Marketing dollars! Only reason they did this is so they can say “hey look! We still have 3rd party apps!”

Why do you care? Is kbin.social not a free speech platform? If not, I’ll find somewhere else to go.

I don’t even agree with these folks, but if people are going to start raising a big stink because people are saying things they don’t like, I’m out.

Is this their second comeback?

 

The WSJ reports that Google started internally testing a new service called Playables, which allows users to play games on YouTube.

They should just design a game that doesn’t require so many mods in the first place

What really sucks is that it eliminates any sort of trade-in systems. I rarely have the desire to play a game I've already finished, at least I would be able to recoup some of that money towards a new game. There goes that along with lending games to friends

Okay, but what does Ja Rule think?

Remember when Reddit had the breaking stories LONG before everyone else?

I STILL want one of these so bad. Wish they weren't so expensive as I just cannot justify spending so much on such an outdated piece of tech :(

[–] Haan@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Wow! I completely forgot that this existed!

 

And yes I understand the irony in this post

What sane person would possibly invest in a company like this?

Ignoring how inept they’ve been throughout this whole ordeal, they don’t even have control over their own site! It’s pathetic

Fuck off with this shit. Sounds as if you're the one with some sociopathy.

 

I've been thinking a lot about why I decided to come here and I know it started off as a "they can't make me use their shitty app!" while simultaneously using test apps that crash and navigating less content than Reddit. What is the primary motivation for all of this anymore? Is anger enough of a motivation to keep people away from a platform long term?

I have a feeling that most folks are more loyal to their communities than they are the company themselves - meaning that no matter how bad the corporation is, sacrificing what they truly care about is not really worth it no matter how poorly they are treated.

If the community goes away, THEN reddit goes away.

But if the only way to access their community is through some shitty app, I don't see it stopping many people.

 

Members of the Reddit community r/horny are posting photos of goats and cats following blackout protests over the site's looming API charges.
