“These people who are mad, they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free. And that free comes at the expense of our other users and our business. That’s what this is about. It can’t be free.”
Funny, seems like he has been getting all of it from content to moderation for free, and now he is the one angry it isn’t free any more…huh.
Also the thing we were getting for free (or paying for app) was a good service. If the Reddit app wasn’t crap when could have had that money. Many pay for premium to remove ads and still use these apps
I had thought those where your words at first, you can quote like this;

I’m struggling to show you what symbol it is without it turning into a quote, so here’s a picture of the greater than symbol;
But the ownership class always deserves to get things from regular people for free. It’s only those of us who make our living from our physical or mental labour, rather than owning property, that don’t deserve free shit.
If they had charged API fees such that 3rd party apps would have had to charge a monthly fee to users…I would have probably just paid. And I know I’m not the only one.
But they priced it intentionally to kill 3rd party apps, because they wanted to channel access through their garbage app with its “promoted” ads all over the place.
It’s not about “free vs. not free” it’s about intentionally killing off the applications that made reddit likeable as a platform.
Yup, if two months ago they said reddit premium members won’t experience any changes, and started pushing ads to 3rd party clients and restricted NSFW posts on 3rd party clients without premium I bet there would have be considerably less push back. I know I probably would have ponied up to $60/year,but instead I have abandoned the site without any intention to return.

Yep mainly moderator’s.

You’re right on the money. Spez is just a generic CEO waving his dick around. Prick.

To display formatting characters without having them actually affect formatting, put a backslash in front of them. Like this:
\>
That produces this:
>
>
nice, thanks for that
Oh, nice! So I set the quote in between the greater then and less then symbols and it will show the quote? That is pretty cool. Thank you.
Not quite I think. I believe this uses markdown, which just uses the > at the beginning of a line
> This is a quote
should become
And if you need more lines, you just keep symboling
> 1
> 2
> 3
Feels like I’m back on Reddit circa 2015 LOL
This never changed for those of us who used old reddit ;)
And I believe you can do a multi line quote with 3:
>>> hello darkness my old friend
I’ve come to speak with you again
More
Lines
Unless I’m wrong and this isn’t actually working
Hmm well that looks like it worked too well

With
Several
Lines
Nah, multi-line is just
> line 1 line 2 line 3You only need multiple > if you want paragraphs:
> paragraph 1 > paragraph 2Yes but when can we use ||spoilers||

That’s just the hierarchy in action, doncha know.

Seems like a case for r/selfawarewolves … If that’s a thing that still exists.
It’s the same as when he started talking about “landed peasantry”, the projection is strong, aware or not.
Rmemes has passed a motion to only post landed gentry memes. So yeah
That’s because he sees himself as a king.
Well I didn’t vote for him
