More like most hackers are leftists and leftists are easily manipulated to support "the current thing".

the group said it followed up on Friday with an additional demand: Reddit should withdraw a controversial new pricing policy that has sparked a protest from some of the platform’s most influential users.

If you lie down with dogs leftists, you'll get up with fleas hackers.

@AmyMek's account has been withheld in Germany, France based on local law(s).

These are the "values" that Europe loves to tout.

Esports has little, if anything, to do with it. It's all about money.

They can charge for microtransactions in online games.

Barebones games like Overwatch are also cheaper to develop. You can keep players busy with minimal content. Singleplayer requires a lot of well-crafted content that doesn't get replayed, i.e. it's expensive.

Let's hope they convert them to residential housing to keep all the migrants and leftists from spilling out into the countryside.

while knowingly making it difficult for them to cancel their subscriptions

Oh yea, canceling prime is always a trip. There are like 5 steps and they move the correct option to cancel around, ask you multiple times, use all kinds of UI tricks and make it as ambiguous and confusing as possible.

Sure, it's perfectly doable if you're not a complete retard but it's shady as fuck.

Might just be one of the reasons mods get banned or he got caught up in the clusterfuck.

I visited a subreddit that was linked somewhere in those discussions (IIRC r/interestingasfuck) and it was 80% people complaining about porn and 20% porn. Which I found odd until I saw a comment in the archived thread above that mods were encouraging people to post porn to formerly SFW subs in protest.

Reminds me of a lefty who posted the same thing on twitter ... aaand then appeared in a news article about being arrested for child porn a bit later.

Should have bookmarked that one ...

As I understand it, these mods encouraged posting porn in SFW communities which is why they're being taken out back.

All that salt can't be healthy :D

Suddenly those Onlyfans simps sound like really big brain investors :D

Does "biggest mods" include these power mods that control dozens of the top subreddits or only smaller scapegoats?

"We need to diddle kids to keep them safe! Every couple of months!" - that guy probably

Well, at least they no longer have to spam child porn to take down wrongthink subreddits. They can just organize a vote brigade to take over any sub they don't like.

Yea, likes, comments and votes only represent the social circle of the original tweet.

I wish. They'll probably just apply for mod positions with new accounts.

The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back.

"I could not help myself. It is my nature."

The funniest, or saddest, thing is that nobody in the whole company dared to object to this abomination.

Fun fact: Germany frequently has to pay other EU countries to take excess German energy.

Yes, you've read that right: Germany has to pay to export excess electricity.

They could just do what Germany does after it shut down its nuclear power plants: become a net importer of electricity ... from France ... who use nuclear power plants.

Migrant housing, "education" or community center or some other bullshit that the government will sink billions into.

For example: here in Germany the government loves to pay expensive hotels to house "refugees". However, recently they had a new idea: how about we just buy those hotels?

There's money to be made. You just have to follow the most retarded politicians around.

Isn't that how almost all of these big internet companies work?

They are giant money sinks and when they run out of money they start a new round of investments ... to pay off the previous investors. But it's totally not a pyramid scheme because they're planning on becoming profitable ... eventually.

The funny part is that allegedly these censorship apps leeching off of Reddit's API are more profitable than Reddit itself.

The lenders don't pay 100% of the original value though. In the previous example, which has some numbers, they basically paid less than half the original value: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/16bPQQRINI/-jingle-mail--725-million-boogal/c/

Even if it dropped by 50% they still made a profit AND got interest along the way. Assuming prices stabilize, they bought the dip by default.

Granted, the question is, can they stop the local government from making things worse? Or can they profit off of the government by selling/renting the property to them for their Socialist causes?

Edit: The free market has little interest in the mall but the government has near infinite money that it can extract from its citizens to finance all kinds of boondoggles. There's plenty of money to be made in sham "industries" like the green stuff, "refugees" and so on.

Sounds like the money lenders are getting a lot of properties for pennies on the dollar. Don't you love the smell of Weimar in the morning?
