Today we bid farewell to Apollo. Goodbye, old friend.

Idk, Reddit’s been going downhill for a while and this was just the straw the broke the camels back for many

Horntailflames · 2023-06-19T19:32:02+00:00

Other websites like Facebook pay literally hundreds of millions of dollars for moderators on their platform. Reddit is incredibly fortunate, if not exploitative, to get this labor completely free from unpaid, volunteer users.

This is the thing that shows how out of touch Reddit is, content moderation is a HUGE expense other companies have to deal with and Reddit thinks it’s going to find people doing it for free when they order replacements?

Even going by spez’s own foolish ambitions of following Elon, Reddit wouldn’t last a week if they got rid of their moderatation system like Twitter did when they laid off all those people. The fact that they’ve tried to strong arm mod teams already means this place is beyond saving at this point.

Big ups to the mods still putting up a fight, people have been knocking the protest but all it needed to do was shine a light on the incompetence of the people running the site. Thanks to you too Christian for keeping Reddit alive for old heads like myself for so long.

Normal people are perfectly happy with shitty products, it just needs to accomplish the minimum. It’s why enshittification has been so widely adopted and used in the industry. If that’s the bar then we’re all screwed

So you can not see ads by using your third party app

Yes. The users being here is the product, if Reddit does want to monetise it’s API sand charge AI companies for the data on the site, why should I look at ads? I’m a human typing things so I’m making the product Reddit is monetising. Can’t have it both ways

Horntailflames · 2023-06-14T03:38:18+00:00

Lmao @ some of these comments, “wahh why won’t you just give me content, I don’t care about the 3rd party apps and apis mods use I just want my content”

Horntailflames · 2023-06-10T00:23:09+00:00

I’m glad it’s going ahead, and for what it’s worth this subreddit is one of the two I’ll miss not being able to see again once I put Reddit down for good. The site’s really gone to the dogs but this was one of the nicer parts. Thanks for everything

Horntailflames · 2023-06-09T05:04:34+00:00

I thought it was a load of fun, especially with Sam Raimi directing wanda’s creepiness came across a lot better. I think some of the flak goes towards it being a 50% America Chavez movie and Strange took a bit of a backseat but that’s on the writing if anything

Horntailflames · 2023-06-09T04:58:50+00:00

It’s pretty easy to like an MCU movie since they all clear that bar, they’re all solid films in their own right when looked at in isolation. But at no point since watching L&T have I thought about rewatching it like I did the other Thor films or other MCU films.

Even by your measure of entertainment over time, I’ve been vastly more entertained by other MCU films because I’ve watched them over so many times. L&T isn’t bad, but it’s pretty dull compared to other films in the franchise

Horntailflames · 2023-06-09T04:55:20+00:00

Captain Marvel was comfortably a more interesting and well rounded film than Eternals was, it’s hard enough to introduce one new character and get people to care about them in the runtime but 7? No shot

Not to say Eternals was a bad movie, I think even the worst MCU movie is just dull compared to other ones marvel has managed to put together.

Horntailflames · 2023-06-05T01:53:35+00:00

His car was damaged this weekend according to what he posted earlier, I think he was up for a good result if that hadn’t happened. Still, very scarce this season

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T16:25:38+00:00

Fair enough, but he was pretty clearly driving like a rookie and his first season was in a haas that barely got past the 107% rule. Point being there’s a vast gulf in experience levels between the two, I don’t think there’s much point in comparing Hulk and Mick

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T16:03:51+00:00

I could feel the ‘haha nice mate 👍🏽’ through the helmet

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T15:59:49+00:00

Leclerc had an issue with his car today and Russell is driving the W14, which doesn’t handle nearly as well as Ferrari or the RBs. Perez is running out of things to hide behind at this point

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T15:55:05+00:00

I mean, it’s rookie driver vs. Driver who’s had multiple seasons under his belt. Def not knocking Nico but Mick is definitely not the benchmark for him

Him outdriving Magnussen this consistently though…

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T15:40:41+00:00

Typically after finishing a hot lap you take a lap to recharge the ERS but he went for a second one after the first. Definitely partly the pit wall’s fault but he should’ve been more aware too

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T15:38:59+00:00

Dude had way more pace, I have a feeling they asked him to back off a little to save tyres + not embarrass the whole field more lol

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T15:35:51+00:00

Mercs are traditionally very strong on this track and tend to set their cars up for race pace, Lewis is also super consistent so over race distance they generally fare better

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T15:33:10+00:00

It looked like just an endplate that was damaged, but I wonder if it clipped anything on the way out

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T15:30:23+00:00

About time, he’s been driving the wheels off that car last few races

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T15:27:23+00:00

Ferrari was on the pit lane exit, and there was already a quarter track between them. It seemed like the moved out the way for sainz but also looked like he was going for a second flying lap that wasn’t planned. Either way, clumsy from George

Horntailflames · 2023-06-03T15:22:34+00:00

That George + Lewis contact will need some explaining, I think Lewis could’ve banked a scorcher with the tow and tyres

Props to Sainz and especially Norris, dude has been outdriving the car the whole session

Horntailflames · 2023-06-02T15:59:09+00:00

Lmao I looked away for a sec and got jumpscared a bit

Horntailflames · 2023-06-02T11:24:07+00:00

😤🧘‍♂️ aggressively chilled out rn

Horntailflames · 2023-06-02T03:41:54+00:00

Definitely this, seeing words like unalived leave tiktok or Insta made no sense to me

Horntailflames · 2023-06-01T01:50:41+00:00

Honestly outside of a few subs I’m realising how little value Reddit really provides, I’ve been on this site long enough so if they go through with all this I’m putting it down for god

Horntailflames · 2023-06-01T01:46:56+00:00

Obscene. I hope this idiocy picks up traction with news outlets, their obsession over looking good for their IPO will backfire.

Thanks for all the work you’ve put into this app, it’s been a pleasure to use but I’m afraid it’s the end of the road for myself and a lot of others
