I can only talk for myself. Since yesterday I lurk on Reddit but donβt really engage with it anymore other than that.
As soon as Apollo is gone, even that will go away. I donβt know if I will stay on Lemmy, only time will tell even tho I hope so. But my active days on Reddit are ending right now.
Honestly, regardless of what happens, I have no plans to go back. Lemmy's been a refreshing breath of fresh air.
I also like it more and more, especially since more communities are popping up and they get more populated.
It really is, there isn't as much content as reddit and that may or may not change but the lack of people acting like they are better than everyone makes it well worth it. I deleted the app and won't go back
Fully agree, letβs keep this attitude going here! :)
I wish the acronym CPM was defined. Maybe I overlooked it.
Cost per thousand. They donβt define it, because itβs a common metric in advertising.
The constellation of thousand, mille and million will probably confuse people until the end of time.
And Milliarden :)
now don't confuse them with other languages :-D
This is really nice, if the protests start to hurt their bottom line, they are going to be much more inclined to listen. I didn't expect these blackouts to do something.
Or even better, fire the MBAs who came up with the stupid idea in the first place
3rd-party devs recognized that paying for API access is reasonable, but they rightfully objected to the pricing.
The Internet is moving towards a subscription-based model, mimicking the one it opposed at the beginning. Or to put it more succinctly: app subscription are the new bills.
Guess I should have worded better. I actually like subscription-based membership if it means we remove advertisements and data collection/sales. I personally think spez is lying about reddit not being profitable. They are probably raking it in via ad sales and selling harvested data.
I think the internet at its best is when it's ad-free, not harvesting and selling user data, and free to use.
Wikipedia is one of the most successful projects on the internet, and it works exactly like that.
Hypothetically, I wouldn't be opposed to some kind of compensation model. But experience shows that as soon as you introduce a for-profit model, people in charge will eventually ask the question "hey, if this is making money, couldn't we squeeze much more money out of it!?!?"
If I were world dictator I would just make advertising illegal. It's the perfect dictator move. Simple policy that's hard to enforce which will almost certainly have unintended consequences. But God damn do I hate advertising.
don't complain if all the free service become paid...
You ever though about where the money from advertisers comes from? I would pay for Google if I would then pay less for products that waste money on "marketing" by paying millions to Google.
I am/was? A moderator of r/NintendoDE, still backed out, until they take us over or comply with the demands.
Probably we'll be taken over at some point, but I feel like Reddit has lost its place for me, and a large part of the trust that I out there too.
I just moved to Lemmy after staying on Reddit for almost 8 years! Hopefully more people will migrate too :)
Social media should never be centralized and for-profit
Moved today. A big part of what I enjoy on reddit is reading comments and with how active communities are over here, I just might be here to stay!
me too. also really nice to just read normal commentsand not just upvote farming comments.
Holy Moly! Only 9000 of about 100000 Subs reportedly participate in the protest! Not even 10 percent! Ugh!
