Reddit is trash

But that’s not the American way
Outsourcing is such a mixed bag. I have 2 projects outsourced to a company in India: one is magnificent and well documented and the other looks like a crack fiend wrote it. Both work, but only one is sustainable
Always ask yourself, “Who profits from this?”
But will it hurt them financially? Past evidence shows most companies see no repercussions for lax security
For me, it was politics that sank Reddit. I was banned from a half dozen news forums for criticism of the IDF in Gaza at the beginning of what most people now acknowledge to be an ethnic cleansing. I reported every account calling for murder and genocide of Palestinians, which is against the Reddit TOS. They permanently banned me for “report abuse” for doing their jobs for them. They have obviously shown that there’s no freedom of speech, even when you follow the rules, if it goes against the feelings of the administration and the unelected moderators. Fiefdoms ruled by angry internet trolls shouldn’t get an IPO.
They don’t care. Reddit does not give a shit about its users.
I always think of AI like a schizophrenic genius because it suffers from hallucinations and can be both genius and insanity
