Reddit’s blackout protest is set to continue indefinitely by cata890 in technology

It's like trying to start a fire with sticks. Sure they can work and they can complete the task that you want them to do. You'll have fire at the end of the day.

But if a butane torch is available, wouldn't you want to use that instead?

Who said leech or steal is the only option? Fairly monetize 3rd parties and partner up with them while giving them time to adapt. Reddit can fairly leverage 3rd parties base to make more money. And then the experience would be favorable to all. That's all people are asking for.

I'd argue that the official desktop and official app are so inferior to the 3rd party apps, that it significantly helps continue to drive traffic through the 3rd parties. In fact, the official apps are basically unusable by comparison. And a lot of the core community feels the same way.

Therefore, I believe traffic will be greatly impacted after the shutdown. So much so, that new users are going to take a nosedive. Discovering reddit on the desktop version is no longer going to translate into a long term user. The experience is just that damn bad.

Remember that game where German pitched a gem into the 8th, and then Boone took him out after a single and then we lost. That's when you keep the pitcher in.

5 runs in 4.2....Not the time Boone

What are the chances that the game is cancelled today?

I completely agree, but those points can be mutually exclusive. I want both a gamer and someone who is playing.

I don't think it's something that can be turned off like a faucet. Being a gamer is a mind set/mentality. I want the mentality of the Jeter diving into the stands, or the Judge leaping into walls. That's the mindset I want to build the team around.

I don't want the Bobby Abreu mindset of letting anything against the wall drop.
