  • Yeah, same. I went back to my facebook groups and instagram pages for a while when reddit went crappy, and it really highlighted how helpful downvotes were

    Downvotes are helpful if they are used properly (off-topic, hate speech, rediquitte, etc.), but I see people using it as a dislike button lately and that has made many discussion annoying and exhausting. Also, downvotes latently breed a hivemind which is like one of the worst parts of reddit.





  • I’m on the other side of your opinion - I like that phrase. “Content” can mean art, audio/visual media, writings, etc. - basically anything that we consume.

    IMO, Professional creative like artists/writers/performers are all content creators but not not all content creators are professional creatives.

    In this day and age, everyone creates music, comedy, videos, skits. Some work a job primarily but create media or rabbitholes that can be scoured through.

    I think “content creator” is a nice catch-all term for personalities that do a lot of stuff that can be casually consumed for entertainment or discourse, especially because it stops limiting said people to one occupation like “musician” or “author”, while also preserving the seriousness of those occupations.


  • I find this arguing over labels more and more as I browse online, and it is sooo exhausting. I have noticed so many instances of arguing and discourse where both sides have similar ideals and want the same things, but argue with each other over stereotypes of labels on the other side, and point to the faults of the vocal rabid minority on the other side as if to prove a point. Sigh.






  • I loved your suggestions, thanks a lot

    Little Talks was cute, it reminds me of Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches but with more energy

    George Thorogood’s song is not the kind of music I usually listen to, but damn is he engaging and jivey

    I think Alice’s Restaurant is my fav from your suggestions, but lol it’s almost an audiobook with it’s length

    Love songs seem to be the most common in this style - I also have a large number of such songs in my library. I prolly should’ve asked for non-love songs specifically tbh, but the current suggestions are pretty great so can’t complain.





  • Genuinely don’t understand how reddit has failed to make money.

    Reddit’s entire value is based upon the unpaid contributions of its users- they generate and moderate all the content on the site for free, and these are the things that bring people to the site.

    How entitled must one be to think they can ignore all this and be fine?

    Also how tf is reddit not able to break bank?

    The functionality of their website was relatively simple - not underming the reddit devs here. The costs must’ve been minimal before the redesign and the dumb ass decision to host their own images and videos. Did they burn up all their money for the redesign and the shitty app?
