Yep. Disney+ (for now).
Netflix, HBO, and Hulu gradually cancelled over the last few years.
What’s stupid of them is that if they’d stayed around $8-10/mo each (ad-free), I probably would have stayed subscribed forever. Now they each get nothing.
I dream that one day there is a RiF for Lemmy. But alas, he’s building an app for tildes.
Connect for Lemmy has been really good so far, too.
I’d complain, except it hasn’t gone up in a decade.
Prices needs to go up a little bit every year to reflect CPI and inflation.
The guy is straight up insane. He’s obsessed with the letter X.
But I don’t care. X is the symbol of death eyes on a smiley. Guess the bird is dead.
Former RiFfer here on Connect.
Gives me similar vibes.
That’s fine. We make a new place.
That’s the beauty of the internet (and similarly, America). We just find a space to talk.
I realized today that maybe all I need is something to scroll and some comments to read.
Sunday, this place felt dead. But each day the traffic seems to pick up and I miss Reddit less and less.
In a few weeks, I won’t miss Reddit at all (at this pace)
But not for me. I’m forever gone.
And if there are enough power users (lots of comments, posts) like me who feel the same, it will have an impact.
There’s a HUGE middle ground between “nothing changes” and “reddit goes out of business.” As we see with Twitter, you can have a zombie platform that persists but slowly loses inertia month after month.
It’s not that Reddit dies abruptly. It’s that the platform is wounded now and, without attention, will bleed out slowly over many years.
Quora, basically.
I don’t think I’ve ever successfully read one of those, because Google brings me to the site and then it demands I log in. They even go so far as to blur all the content. It’s really really stupid.
Wait until they see “Smoke Hub” in Bakersfield, CA.
It’s literally the porn hub logo.
