Those who use old reddit to get around it wouldn't likely get the app anyway, so why even try blocking it?

If I hqve to watch a black screen, so be it. Better a moment of peace than an ad.
Some users joked that they would rather see a black screen than an ad.
This wasn't a joke.
Have 2 keyboards, but that just doesn't do it. But if I somehow manage to get a more isolated home, I'll fucking do it for real.
That's amazing, though I'm not sure people living on the other side of my walls would appreciate it.
No. But it's also not like I get 20 constantly, it was just the worst I've seen. Usually it's 2 to 5, I think.
I assume they're just collecting data on how many are users willing to do.
They knew I was committing crimes with my adblocker.
they wanted you to do two or three and that's absurd
Yea how about 20
Working as intended.
well it wasn't for no reason, it was for stupid reason, which is different
Yeah, guess I ovesimplified a bit. For anyone not aware, it was one report of racism towards a delivery driver.
The accusation was completely false, and even if the guy actually were a racist pos, remotely disabling devices he paid for and owns is not a good road to go on.
This is what I fear the most with these platforms. They have these shitty automated moderation systems that can just decide to delete everything you have there on a whim. Already common on places like youtube and facebook, but it just keeps getting worse. Every site is pushing users into signing in with their google/microsoft/whatever accounts.
Remember the guy who lost access to his smart home when amazon banned him for no reason?
It's not like it'll disappear entirely, just that clueless idiots will stop shoving it everywhere it doesn't belong.
How so? It already takes knowledge and effort, what would another hoop change?
If the gains outweigh the cost.
