no one likes instagram shorts

it’s “reels” i think tiktok recommends better videos, but IG has closed the gap in recent years.

they embed dark souls into the browser

thanks. exactly my point

you can thank the non-paying youtube members who made post like this possible

absolutely zero value to YouTube this is not true. non-paying users will like, comment, share to others making the platform more popular. and if they’re ads were less intrusive they would actually be more likely to be shown.

half of the websites are google-owned

there’s dozens of gaming subreddits already though. like truegaming or something else. i don’t think many existing subreddits will do this. i do think nsfw creators will paywall their posts

however if reddit goes that route i hope OF sues apple/google. I don’t like how some nsfw apps like reddit or x are allowed but others aren’t

bots take resources to serve just like any regular user

combine card with 2fa on mobile or confirm via sms would solve most problems

reddit requires you to go out of your way to enable nsfw. tiktok is pretty heavy handed in moderation, but i still get some spam videos of nsfw content

Brevity is the soul of wit
