It would be cheaper for google to just buy reddit, remove the adds and open the api's again.

Having relevent search results is priceless.

Reddit.com appears on KilledByGoogle.com next year.

Knowing google they would buy it, release a big roadmap of plans for the website and then shut it down the next day.

remove the adds

lol, this is google we're talking about

More realistic is having to watch 2 unskippable 15 second ads before you can see the post

3, if you're on a popular sub.

This would be low-key be a great way to have your very own sweet sweet human contributed ML-data pipeline, and a pretty high quality community moderated one at that. Give access to 3rd party devs and lock all competing ML techs out. [r word] is valued at $10 billion (fucking lol) but I bet that gutless scumbag sp*z would fold for less than 10% of that if he has more than two braincells to rub together.

Big part of me hopes Google's myopic corporatised ass never sees the opportunity and we rebuild the mf free internet from here on out.

LOL, Google already did that once, literally two decades ago. Remember Google Groups?

That's a big "if"

[-] curiosityLynx@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Eh, if you only have two braincells, you aren't capable of narcissism. Spez's problem isn't lack of braincells in general but lacking braincells in empathy, critical thinking and whichever brain part gives rise to theory of mind.

I thought his problem is he's just a giant bag of smashed asshole.

[-] eatmoregreenfood@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe, but like I and I'm sure many others think, not going back regardless. Kbin is it.
