  • I just would like to show something about Reddit. Below is a post I made about how Reddit was literally harassing and specifically targeting me, after I let slip in a comment one day that I was sober - I had previously never made such a comment because my sobriety journey was personal, and I never wanted to define myself or pigeonhole myself as a “recovering person”.

    I reported the recommended subs and ads to Reddit Admins multiple times and was told there was nothing they could do about it.

    I posted a screenshot to DangerousDesign and it flew up to like 5K+ votes in like 30 minutes before admins removed it. I later reposted it to AssholeDesign where it nestled into 2K+ votes before shadow-vanishing.

    Yes, Reddit and similar are definitely responsible for a lot of suffering and pain at the expense of humans in the pursuit of profit. After it blew up and front-paged, “magically” my home page didn’t have booze related ads/subs/recs any more! What a totally mystery how that happened /s

    The post in question, and a perfect “outing” of how Reddit continually tracks and tailors the User Experience specifically to exploit human frailty for their own gains.

    Edit: Oh and the hilarious part that many people won’t let go (when shown this) is that it says it’s based on my activity in the Drunk reddit which I had never once been to, commented in, posted in, or was even aware of. So that just makes it worse.

    I can log on to anybody’s computer in the world, install Steam, and have full access to my entire game library.

    I can make almost anybody I know (with limits) a “family member” and share my library.

    I can stream my games from my computer to my phone.

    My steam deck lets me play my entire library anywhere.

    I see no personal benefit to using physical media anymore.

    I guess a disclaimer would be that I trust Valve but you truthfully, I don’t trust all game companies/vendors.
