So could anyone and everyone all at once. In a copyrightless scenario, the sheer force of the creative effluence would drown out the power of HBO.
It is the artificial monopoly that can be sold via copyright licenses that generates the massive profits for these media tycoons in the first place.
14 year old account with lots comment activity. Deleted all of the posts and then the account the moment I understood what was going on.
Anyway everything on Reddit had been created in about a decade and something better be recreated again even faster. The above analogy of Reddit being a library is a bit off to my ears-- Reddit is not the content you find there, Reddit is the people; the expertise, the moderation, the consideration, the passion. We can safely burn the siphons tapped into people’s passions and let the energies of the people pour elsewhere.
this is kinda supporting genocide
I’ve been on Reddit 14 years. One account. Never used an app. Still used old.reddit til the last.
Deleted all my comments and then my account yesterday.
You’re right on the FB thing tho. Did the same thing in 2012. Took a few years for the popularity of “delete your facebook” to catch on, but now the idea that facebook is bad for you is super mainstream compared to 2012.
Thats exactly what I’m thinking, and also that Reddit is expecting there to be moderators of the subreddits based upon the financial resources of the subreddits’ subject. And not just from ambitious governments, but commercial enterprises also.
So perhaps Microsoft employs a mod, and so does Apple, probably game devs and sports leagues and so on so that those moderators will be able to be controlled via the financial arrangements between Reddit and the NFL, or Reddit and Apple, and none of the messy business of courting consumers’ real opinions has to come into play.
“Too big to fail” commercial subreddits could become overtly supported by Reddit.
Anecdotally, everyone I personally know who uses reddit has dropped it.
“Lemmy did not levy these exact condemnations over a less-offensive comment and therefore…”
What? So what? What is your point? You posted this just to side track condemnation of actual genocidal language in order to drop some open-ended whataboutism?
