IE in the 2000's called, it wants it's dream back.

Between this, hobbling adblockers and performing enough monopolistic acts to warrant swift government action, I really see this more as Chrome dying than the web itself.

[AMA] Hi, I’m /u/spez, CEO of Reddit, coming to you to talk about my recent acquisition of Lemmy and some upcoming changes. Ask me anything! by spaceribs in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

They were always going to do that, the squeeze is basically required if you're planning on making a public offering and become beholden to investors.

Why would Reddit push users away from their app shortly before announcing API changes? by spaceribs in c/reddit@lemmy.world

It's probably pretty straightforward, if clicks are what they're looking to increase as a metric, then sorting by rising was probably not meeting their expectations in terms of clickrate.

Sure, let me explain:

JSTOR is an online repository where institutions pay a subscription for access to an online library. Aaron Swartz worked to download the entire online library to ensure that it could be provided to all for free. I think it's safe to say that if he were alive today, he would be very much against the actions of his former co-founder, and would be leading the charge.

[caption] I wonder how Aaron Swartz would feel about /u/spez's actions in the past few weeks? Would the Admins care to elaborate?

Considering that Reddit now wants to become the new JSTOR, it seems appropriate that we bring up the clear parallels between our current situation and that of the late founder? [/caption]
