I had a similar experience. Never played the Hoenn games, but I have copies of both FireRed and LeafGreen.


The worst part is, she probably got very little for those Pokemon games that are now worth $100+ a piece.


Low key actually worth a small fortune. This is a great selection.


Very, Very Few People Are Falling Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole | The site’s crackdown on radicalization seems to have worked.

Dang, I’m feeling pretty lucky that no one in my life uses WhatsApp. Sounds like that’s not the norm.


Yeah, someone definitely input their salary into the form incorrectly. This is all information collected voluntarily, I’m sure there was definitely incorrect information provided by people, either accidentally or purposefully.


Oh for sure, I am positive you’re right and that it will stop working soon enough.


I mean, it only affected our smart TV. Everything else, including the laptop, my phone, and my tablet, can still use my parent’s Netflix account just fine.

So yeah, I guess I just literally rolled over to another device and used that instead.


lack of diversity of content

This part is bugging me the most. I often see the same articles posted here over and over again by these bots.


Who on earth decided to leave the projector on while they took the group photo?



I have no idea what you’re even talking about.


I wonder if public freakouts was told to remove the NSFW tag. That sub definitely should have been NSFW all along.


There is a whole set of users who apparently think the mods are in the wrong and that Reddit is right. Whether these are real users, and not armies of bots using ChatGPT to generate content, is up for debate. (But they’re definitely bots lol)


What’s crazy is that Reddit admins have so much more to lose by removing these moderators than the mods themselves do, but the mods have somehow convinced themselves that they have to stay, no matter how bad it is.

It is rather short-sighted. There is no way Reddit could easily replace all of the moderators, and it would be chaos if they removed all of them at once, but Reddit threatening them works because they know they’re scared of losing control of their communities.



I guarantee that my great aunt probably created one because she just wanted to get the popup to go away so she could look at pictures of her grandkids. Probably doesn’t even know what Threads is.


Yeah, it’s a bit naive to think this can’t go the exact same way XMPP did.


Right, I’m pretty positive r/funny was the largest sub to participate in the original protest.


I bet spez is really regretting that “landed gentry” comment now. IAmA is one of reddit’s most well-known communities.


It’s hilarious that I tried to click that link, despite not having a Twitter account.


Who even uses Quora? The interface is such garbage, I can’t even tell what’s sponsored content and what’s not. Sometimes you’ll start reading an answer and then realize it’s for a different question than the one the page is about.


You’re not alone in observing this. Cory Doctorow wrote a great piece about this phenomenon: Tiktok’s Enshittification. It seems to be the fate of any centralized social media platform.
