Our eyes are finally starting to open.
Do not ever believe this. This is an intellectual trap that once you dig in to it it’s hard to dig out. People like Elon Musk are the type of people who think they see the world for what it really is, and look how stupid they are. Some truths are clearer than others, but you will always be chained down by your own perspective, unconscious biases, and way of thinking. Always keep your mind partially open to new perspectives and do your best to practice intellectual humility.
I left after a few minutes because it really seemed like no one there had anything intelligent or interesting to say
Reddit has always been that way to an extent. Half of the time it’s just people making bad jokes and quirky references that border on derailing the thread to get that sweet karma dopamine boost.
I’m not saying that with hindsight at all. lol, I pointed this major inconsistency out on reddit a while back and got downvoted to hell, because the people on /r/antiwork have a bad track record when it comes to being self aware.
I generally don’t trust corporations, because in the end, they either get bought out or eventually go corrupt. Hell, when they go public, corruption is almost inevitable, because at that point their end goal of generating growth at all costs becomes ingrained. Reddit is no different. I expect the same thing to happen to Discord now that they’ve gone public too.
That’s why I want to place faith in open source products and services like Linux and Lemmy. Not one person can control them.
Also, what does anything I said have to do with sticking your head in the sand?
My issue is that while I believe it is fine to show people what is wrong with the world on a large social media platform where there are no heavily used alternatives, when you give reddit money, you are not supporting an independent platform, you are giving your money to a social media platform partially owned by media megacorp Advanced Publications.
And that platform is clearly not happy with just the money they received from reddit gold. Now that they are going public, they are going to keep trying to find more ways to give even more money to their shareholders.
This shit right here is why I never took most leftist subs seriously. There is nothing more painfully ironic than to see posts complaining about capitalism get bombarded with gold and stickers.
Having a law degree doesnt mean your smart.
I don’t really think the internet truly got bad until 2007 when Facebook and Youtube really took off.
Without ears he’s just Dark Bibleman.
