This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.
Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it’s only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.
Did Elon Musk enforce post view limit ? I don’t know about that
Elon is the actual source of all possible evils. Let’s keep this between us for our safety
I think its at 1.000 posts per day for regular people, 10.000 for Twitter Blue Subscribers
And People without an account cant see any posts anymore
He backtracked the last part, I think because Google was started to delist Tweets from Google searches. You can see a specific post, but not the comments to the post.
No wonder King Steven was so incensed when the Landed Gentry cut off access to the site from commoners; it’s a privilege he reserves as a Royal Prerogative…
It’s always been like this for potentially nsfw subreddits
How so? It says the subreddit is unreviewed and could potentially contain inappropriate content… Same thing as nsfw
There is a huge difference between “unreviewed” and NSFW. Unreviewed is very nebulous and inexact, and let’s reddit effectively censor huge swathes of the website…unless you use their shitty app, ofc! NSFW is a very specific designation that can easily be backed up with evidence
Ehhhh. This could just be their current stopgap because of all of the NSFW swaps happening. I think you are extrapolating too much.
Don’t get me wrong, I could totally see Reddit enacting this policy in their “infinite wisdom” and quietly rolling it out. But you are drawing too much from this screenshot. We need more context.
How exactly does it help if I install the app and go to that subreddit? NSFW is still NSFW.
This might just be morning brain, but I honestly don’t understand the question I’m sorry
Nope. It’s because it’s easier to harvest data through the app, so they funnel people towards it.
Oh there’s no doubt they’ve slowly made it more of a pain in the ass to not use the app (while also making the app worse) but this specific screenshot is too much missing context for OP’s claim to be assumed. It could be true but we don’t know enough.
I do remember seeing this popup way before the whole API & protests debacle. The warning doesn’t even make sense, how will switching to the app to see the same content be safer?
I figured you needed to login (to apply your block list, filters, NSFW prefs, etc), but merely seeing the desktop mode of the website lets you through (not even using old.reddit). So this is another cheap way of forcing you to their cancer app.
Now you can’t even SORT comments without using the app. They are really taking all pqges off Elon’s book on ruining a website.
And I didn’t say it was specific to NSFW subs. It’s been like this for most subs since like a year. They restricted nsfw subs years ago.
Edit: It might not be exactly a year, but the point is I faced this restriction on sfw subs many times in recent memory and it’s not remotely new.
The enshittification proceeds apace. Fuck u/spez.
Centralized control and ad based model ensures this always happens… Cable teevee, now web2.0…
About time the pleb base start thinking bigger picture and voting with their feet and wallets.
I always hated that crypto shit stole the name web3/web3.0. I think for a short period it seemed decentralized apps were calling themselves web3.0 but now it’s just the fediverse I think. I like calling it the true web because the fediverse is very much like the old days where we had niche sites with their own communities, it’s just that the content isn’t locked into each site and we don’t need a million different forum accounts to participate everywhere. Like the old days but supercharged with new tech.
