Reddit is a psychopath corporation. They are laser-focussed on engagement and signups, and don't care if they degrade the fabric of society while they do it.

The website is designed to encourage conflict and divisive hate, millions of americans screaming hate between [ingroup] and [outgroup].

Clearly the API and old reddit will be removed soon, and the will have reached the final destination of their plans. Their psychopath tendencies are clear, and the path they are following has been clear for years.

It's despicable behavior isn't it?

There's a "normalization" that it's acceptable for companies such as Reddit, Twitter, Facebook etc to enourage the world to post information on their website, and then block access to casual visitors once they got successful.

It's ABHORRENT FILTH and morally grotesque. They are causing human misery every day by deciding certain people are [outgroup] and do not have the same rights as logged-in users [ingroup].

Reddit, Twitter and Facebook are psychopath companies, and anyone working for them is part of the "ingroup vs outgroup" degradation of society.

There are an estimated 200,000 Japanese citizens living in the EU/UK.

Yahoo is still one of the largest providers of mail/news/shopping in Japan. From 6th April they will block all access to the services for visitors from the EU/UK due to GRPR compliance. This will hugely affect all expat Japanese living in the EU/UK.

The website misses the reason that I have not moved my domains to HTTPS: Google.

Google treat the HTTP and HTTPS pages as separate for link ranking purposes, so there is a chance that a move will destroy 10 years of link ranking. Even with redirects, there is a non-zero chance of the business being destroyed.

If Google would treat HTTP and HTTP pages as the "same page" then I would move tomorrow.

Reddit is on a complete different level of abhorrent filth. The mobile experience is so obnoxious that it's fair to call it "evil".

And I'm only describing the technical aspect of it. The culture it encourages of people screaming divisive hate at each other, makes it possibly the worst corporation to have ever existed.

Notice that it's almost impossible to find people on HackerNews admitting they work there.

Reddit is a psychopath corporation. I cannot think of another description for a company with such a grotesque and obnoxious mobile experience. Pure unadulterated evil.

Good point. So perhaps she is a genius at social-engineering and managed to "play" the journalist by appealing to the journalist's pre-conceived notions about her.

She claims to have slept with all 4 members of The Beatles. Methinks most of the stories she tells are nonsense, but she suits the prevailing narrative for a certain segment of the media.

I would say most UK people consider the BBC to be impartial and neutral, except perhaps for people with more extreme political opinions.

Your comment does't make any sense. You are saying that the Conservative party are making this huge change to distract from their current problems. Are you saying they created the entire plan in a few weeks? Do you have any evidence for your extraordinary claims?

If you genuinely believe that the US has standards comparable to the third world, the you've been consuming propaganda on the Internet, I guess from low-quality communities such as Facebook/Twitter/Reddit etc.

These people aren't "desperate", they are opportunists. The situation is the opposite to what you say: there is low risk of getting caught and high chance of finding something valuable.

Isn't DuckDuckGo just a wrapper around Bing search results? I see lots of complaints about DDG search results but those complaints should be directed to Bing, not DDG.

(I understand that DDG does some value-add to the results returned by the Bing API).
