Just upvote or boost? Aren't you having to go to your profile to find it either way?

Hate to be the guy posting reddit links, but I'm too lazy to copy/paste/format it myself: https://old.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/160vnmb/patch_1_patch_notes/jxoekga/

Still okay to fuck it though, right?

All I see is cowardice. Long live Giraffey McGiraffeface!

I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain.

I agree, but 50% is still better than 100%. I definitely appreciate that I'm reading about this while being totally unaffected personally rather than just disappearing entirely like what happens with a banned subreddit.

Depends a lot on where you were posting.

/r/nfl was notorious for deleting posts from unknown users when new broke to repost it from a mod's account. Had nothing to do with ban evasion or bots, just leveraging the control they had to make sure they had all the biggest posts.

They download the file (which you can usually do with a little Inspect Element action + yt-dlp), but then also decrypt the file.

Most of the big streaming services use Widevine DRM (or at least did at one point, I might be outdated by now), so just downloading the file gives you appropriately-sized gibberish. These apps tend to be expensive because getting around the DRM is usually non-trivial.

Same here. I'm working on a couple household projects and a software side project. I've found useful-looking search results several times over the past few weeks and was pleasantly surprised to find I was repeatedly finding the useful content deleted.

Sure, it's annoying on some level...but it's also pretty neat that I've already noticed I default to clicking Stack Exchange links or asking ChatGPT stuff before searching reddit specifically, since my brain's already starting to associate reddit with the disappointed feeling of finding a deleted comment.

To be fair, his statement was also just an observation.

My use case for streamfab was a single season of a show that's free to stream anyway, just wanted a local copy. I wasn't a huge fan though...entirely too clunky and error prone for the price.
