How to nuke you valuation speedrun
So glad I deliberately got perma banned a couple of days ago then nuked my account. I also deleted all the tracking cookies and deleted Boost (sorry boost dev you guys are great keep fighting the good fight) and blocked reddit domain using ublacklist.

I don't really engage much anymore because of busy life but I'll try to be more active here.
Will be really interesting to see how this works out for them. They’ll definitely lose a lot of users but I wonder if they’ll end up getting enough of them to download the official app that they decide it was worth it.
I feel like its going to be a lot like the Twitter meltdown after Musk took over: a lot of noise in protest, a shittier experience for the user base, but it will ultimately live on because people would rather adapt to the new paradigm then move onto something unfamilliar.
I don't think its fair to compare to Twitter though. Most people use Twitter to follow celebrities, not for user generated content. That's why this place needs to keep its momentum going and attract users beyond the initial spite created by reddit.
Is this thing on?
Fuck you u/spez
But yeah keep going back to their site and watch their ads, that'll show them for sure.
