When they killed Apollo. Fuck using that shitty official app.

I would have tolerated ads if it meant Apollo still existing. I know Christian wouldn’t have made them as interrupting as Reddit does and the overall experience was wonderful.

Even at this time, this was an old computer. I remember the sticker on the front said it was built for Windows ME or one of the OSes from that era before Windows XP.

User complained that the computer was running very slow, slower than it realistically should.

I opened it up to clean it since I figured that was a good place to start.

The bottom of the chassis was disgusting. The dust had accumulated so much that it became a mound of dirt. And seated on top of the mound of dirt dust was a dead roach on its back.

Found literal bugs in the computer.

Instead of providing actual features the competitors have had for ages like the ability to talk using the console while playing a game, they add old ass games as a “bonus” since they make it impossible to play these any other way.

Typical Nintendo not even doing the bare minimum.

3D like the Fallout 3 we got as a FPS-like game or 3D like still top down but could rotate the camera, sort of like The Sims or Wasteland 2 or something else entirely?

Is that a snake in your pants or are you just happy to see me? Oh…it really was a snake…

Second rule of IT: all users lie

The problem is when it is weaponized by corporations to bypass competition or by activists who are upset for one reason and get everyone to rally for an untrue reason.

Example: McDonalds has an employee write about their horrible experience working for Burger King which is a complete fabrication to get people to hate their competitor.

Example 2: supporters for Presidential candidate John Smith don’t like that Target has been donating to Smith‘s rival political party. Smith supporters fabricate untrue stories about Target’s working conditions to get people to boycott the store and hurt profits. This would lead to less money being available for donations from the store.

In all honesty, I do think Name and Shame is perfectly reasonable and should be done. But I still want to highlight some ways that it can be abused. I don’t think Reddit should use this as an excuse to forbid the practice but Reddit should do due diligence in proving the story is right like verifying an employee’s employment at the company they are shaming, for example.

You should still be able to bypass the email requirement when creating a Reddit account, right? The only useful purpose I see behind it for the user is if you forget your password.

And the theme song wouldn’t change.

it’s for the children!

They said as they erode more freedom/privacy for the general population.
