True. He also appeared on Saturday Night Live several times. Definitely presidential material.

I'm so over this game show host.

Why did anyone ever give a fuck about this guy?

He was a bottom of the barrel choice for a gameshow and was super lucky to get the Apprentice.

Any fuckstick could've taken that role and run with it

I just don't get how a site based on freely produced content thst employs volunteer mods can actually monetise.

That part just gets me. The site has nothing without the users and the users have nothing without the mods.

I believe bees are sacred and worthy of worship and any site that elevates them is one I can support!

It's always bothered me that while I'm talking about the best way to bake a good tart that there's probably a subreddit called r/wellbakedtarts my info might get conflated with.

I'm fine with NSFW content, myself but there's some really questionable shit on there.

I don't wanna! I don't wanna!

But I feel like maybe I should wipe my account, too.

I don't have any special expertise in any category or anything but I really don't like the idea they'll be able to take my dead account with over the 146K combined karma and sell it to some AI jagoff startup.

I don't even know half of the platforms I stored my stuff on, either.

I have a lot of fond memories that will die with my login but fuck if I'm going to unwillingly participate in the monetization and mining of all of that content!

The way reddit allowed for non techies to join in was really its best attribute.

But now I feel like they're being duped.

Anyone from back in the day knew some basics they had to put in place to make it usable for what it was intended like RiF or RES.

It just makes me wonder who their target user really is at this point...

I might keep it it in my back pocket for breaking world news like I did with Twitter if I could still use a 3rd party app but I won't be busting down the door.

It's still useful in that it has a massive user base that can get information out quickly.
