We need a mandatory retirement age for federal appointees, fucking immediately.

I’m honestly surprised this doesn’t happen more often than it does, considering how much coffee McD’s sells.

That’s actually very interesting, i would not have expected that.

It is always really interesting when a system like that fails, and Im curious to see what they come up with as an explanation for why.

Depends what you’re into

I like:

Air Safety Institute - https://www.youtube.com/@AirSafetyInstitute - they cover recent GA crashes, all sorts of stuff related to airplanes and what not. Really interesting and well presented.

HorrorGeek - https://www.youtube.com/@TheHorrorGeek - amusing reviews of horror movies

NerdExplains - https://www.youtube.com/@NerdExplains - really snarky and mean-spirited horror movie reviews

PeriscopeFilm - https://www.youtube.com/@PeriscopeFilm - Archival film footage from through the ages, just all kinds of crazy stuff

Ill Advised Records - https://www.youtube.com/@illadvisedrecords - relaxing music

Law & Crime Network - https://www.youtube.com/@LawAndCrime - Content about crime and trials and what have you

Cryochamber - https://www.youtube.com/@cryochamberlabel - Relaxing music

There’s a bunch more (the New Jersey museum guy, Drachnifel, bunch of true crime stuff) but that’s what leapt to mind first

Because AI detectors suck and are the modern day equivalent of dowsing rods?

One thing i know for sure, there ain’t no predicting the future with something like this. We’ll not know where we’ll end up until we are there.

I feel like the limits were chosen to force twitter addicts to upgrade to blue.

Yeah it’s a real win-win. It’s costing the site interactions, and clearing some of the spam out of AMA

my hot take is that AMA’s haven’t been good for literally years, and that most celebrity AMA’s are terrible and nothing more than cheap advertising for whatever their latest project is.

Reddit’s admins don’t recognize that they have very few levers to control the mod teams. They don’t pay them, they don’t give them any special benefits or consideration, and they (clearly) don’t even respect them either. All that’s left is the stick of removal, and that’s only as threatening as the person is committed to being a mod on a site that clearly views them as a disposable tool.

They’ve already replaced some mod teams with new people, and i suspect that’ll continue, and likely cause enormous disruption as people discover being the mod of a large subreddit sucks and is very tedious, dull work that isn’t actually fun at all.

Considering how much money reddit makes off the vast amount of free labor provided to the site you’d think they’d have more sense, but, here we are.
