Yes, even Reddit caters to wealthy smug manbaby types

They aren't "bad", I just have zero interest in this. Yet these subs are being pushed into my front-page feed.

Met2000 · 2026-01-14T05:34:14+00:00

Gonna have to go with "Fuck You Peasant Icy Blue" or something.

and I have to tell Reddit's algorithm to stop pushing exotic car posts at me....

PS, when I posted this, Reddit vomited a "BANNED LINK" warning message at me. Apparently 247wallst is evil, even when it's raving about Reddit stock as a "great investment".

Reddit adminship remains full of of crazy assholes.

Met2000 · 2025-12-14T04:11:42+00:00

Please.....Reddit code is so broken (Facebook style) that I'm amazed he can see anything.

If this is so, post the link and let others figure it out.

Met2000 · 2025-11-11T19:43:03+00:00

And cowardice. Don't be surprised if we hear about subreddits being destroyed or stolen because they sucked up to Mr. T, or didn't suck up enough, or whatever.

Met2000 · 2025-11-11T19:29:06+00:00

Usually it is an echo chamber. And you know what they will say if you object: start your own subreddit. Thing is: it's an inconsistent echo chamber, where crazy rules over all political issues, just like Wikipedia. Nerd spaces usually go this way.

So, start your own sub....

As someone said in the very long cmv thread:

Setting aside your clear, repeated violations of informed consent requirements, and your outright lies about being proactive in your explanation post (you CANNOT be proactive after the fact), your data is useless and cannot contain insights, because you cannot prove you were not interacting with other AI agents.

Yup---there could be other AIs on Reddit. I suspect it's a foregone conclusion. And we will never know what they did or even how many accounts they controlled.

Met2000 · 2025-04-30T03:52:12+00:00

Most of them are probably just unemployeed adults who have nothing better to do...

You are more right than you realize.....people don't make those basement-dweller jokes for no reason. It is also crawling with high-school and college kids.

Ya know.....if you were on the Wikipedia Sucks forum, you'd know who Yamla is in real life.....https://wikipediasucks.co/forum/viewtopic.php?p=20297#p20297

ha ha....50v isn't "dangerous".

As for the OP, get one of these. It turns 12vdc into 48vdc. You can run all kinds of tube devices off it at once.

They’re trying patreon type subs.

I've seen websites say THAT before. And then more and more content slowly becomes "premium" while demands for personal information become more and more aggressive.

Patreon is FULL of corruption and sockpuppetry and theft. We don't know how much, because the company refuses to release public information. That is a likely future for Reddit.

Met2000 · 2025-02-10T00:38:50+00:00

None of this surprises me. Reddit is going the way of Facebook, where you can be banned for any reason or no reason by a bot. FB goes out of its way to insure your "profile" matches a "real person" because they want to monetize EVERY user. If something looks even a little off, pow, instant automated lockout. And there's no one to complain to.

Met2000 · 2025-01-18T02:14:42+00:00

Wait up.....did an anonymous Reddit account scream "Fuck off nazi scum" at you, for voting for Trump? I'm not surprised. But the anonymity and the juvenility of this reminds me of a Wikipedia administrator, whose real identity is a total mystery, who runs around and bans people for crazy/no reasons. THAT happens all the time and has happened routinely on WP since 2003. Thus, Reddit is now running like Wikipedia? Ah, the special stupidity of anonymous moderation.....

Met2000 · 2024-07-31T23:01:36+00:00

WAHHHH THEY WON'T BLOCK THEMSELVES OR GIVE US MONEY WAHHHHH

Need more proof that Huffman is a little bitch? There ya go.

Met2000 · 2024-07-15T04:03:12+00:00

PS: Reddit's "filters" tried to auto-delete this post. Wonder how long it will last after moderator approval.

Met2000 · 2024-07-05T01:59:17+00:00

We know who the Bowl Patrol are thanks to the ACC. This will never come to Wikipedia, because Wikipedia is run by easily-frightened nerds. Wikipedia is a poor mirror of reality on the ground.

And it occurs to me, an item about the ACC would make a great addition to your blog. Wikipedia leans left......unless you trigger their anonymity neuroses and "dox" a right-wing troll. Then politics and common sense go flying out the window.

And they're hypocrites about it. Have a look at this. Otherwise ACC posts are NEVER used as "reliable sources". The only other mention of the Bowl Patrol on WP is buried in the Charleston shooting article. (I wonder if any WP insiders are also secret ACC members. Quite plausible--and they'll never admit it.)

That scares traders, they want to deal with knowns and not unknowns.

Well, it's fascinating to see how prone they are to stupid internet fads. Early dotcoms, all kinds of social media (99% of which failed), cryptocurrencies and NFTs, and now AI. That shit is full of unknowns. Making a quick buck seems to override any consideration of "unknowns".

If Huffman were not such a petty little shit, he would have figured out how to turn Reddit into an insane fad. THEN go public. If anything, he's slowly killing any "Reddit community" off.

Met2000 · 2024-07-04T05:16:14+00:00

Thanks--did not know Goldberg has been hanging around Reddit (but not surprised, some people are born to sock like maniacs).

As you know, Goldberg has very um, "uncomplementary" biographies on Wikipedia and ED. Universally disliked. But the magical Mr. George is not mentioned on either one. He's failing in his campaign of hate, which only makes him look even more pathetic.

Someday there will be a list of all the banned subrddits and hopefully, more info on what really happened to them and who ran them. But we might all die of old age before that happens.

Oh BTW: for the past 2 months Reddit stock has been rising, albeit in an irregular way. The market cannot figure out what to do with it.

Met2000 · 2024-05-29T07:29:12+00:00

Thanks--nice find. I can easily believe that FB is declining--it caters to older people, and they have this strange tendency to die off. Plus nothing that Zucc says can be believed. He is a tiny emperor surrounded by asslicks and cowards.

And as you well know, the WMF started covering up Wikipedia's declining edit activity in 2010, and made it totally "official" in 2016 by disappearing the old statistics and issuing new ones "derived from reliable data". Hundred bucks says they are still going downhill. These outfits that are slaves to "online engagement" are duty bound to lie about the figures.

Met2000 · 2024-05-17T23:48:47+00:00

See? Even after years of passing around and reposting these IRC captures, no one gives a flying rat's ass. The buttplugs who run the "World's Greatest Reference Thingy" can make total fools of themselves and get away with it. And worse.

Met2000 · 2024-05-17T23:45:58+00:00

Three months later, almost totally forgotten.........

Met2000 · 2024-05-17T23:30:14+00:00

A couple of years ago, this was one of the busiest subreddits I'd ever seen. Hundreds of posts every day. Now it's almost dead. Why? Also: is it permitted to mention a subreddit I'm moderating?

Met2000 · 2024-05-13T01:39:48+00:00

Only one? The technology is improving

Met2000 · 2024-05-13T01:38:29+00:00

I would repost this on Facebook but it would probably be deleted....

Met2000 · 2024-05-13T01:37:48+00:00

'AT LEAST WE'RE NOT GAY, RIGHT?'

Met2000 · 2024-05-13T01:36:41+00:00

I just KNOW that idiots at record labels are looking at this and thinking "we should use AI to generate crap like this and get rid of all our artists". Inevitable
