Do you mean Calibre?
Bots are indeed a problem, but at the same time so are the huge swaths of users dedicated to a single users whim. When one person with enough pulls says “I want to take over this entire area of the canvas” and it happens in minutes?… it ruins the experience. Bots are just a way for this to happen without the following.
The only issue this would truly cause in the long run is a bit of admin work. There are and were plenty of scabs willing to take over unmoderated subs. Sure, the quality of those subs would have suffered, but Reddit never cared about that beyond what essentially boiled down to “don’t let “bad” content stay up.” Beyond that, mods could do whatever they wanted for the most part.
Not in the slightest.
That’s their point, fyi. Not sure why you’re being downvoted though.
I’m willing to bet they’ll care. When your community is vocal enough about such an issue to crowd out others? Yeah, that’s not a good sign for their investment. And it’s all directed at a single person.
To be fair, the mods of r/place are admins are they not?
You’d think xQc would be all for sowing the chaos of pushing users to a different platform.
The argument about engagement being worth a lot is kinda silly. The initial numbers of “look at how good we can do!” immediately followed by “but everyone using it has left” isnt a good thing. Advertisers want stability not “big number for short time.”
Look at it this way: If you were an advertiser, would you go with an advertisement campaign on a site that had an average of 1000 users each and every day, or a site that had 100,000 users for a single day, and 10 for the rest of the year?
I’m looking at the GitHub now, but I’m not seeing anything that screams “must have,” is there something not obvious that it does?
This is literally a community dedicated to Reddit happenings…
It wasn’t a leak, they intentionally pushed the episode early.
Self hosting is fine, assuming you have sane policies in place. Policies like “don’t play in prod” and “don’t let the intern touch prod.” 🤪
While I am right there with you, these will likely be fingerprinted builds. Meaning that a single instance of a leak will result in them no longer being considered “trusted.” No outlet is going to chance that, and exceedingly few individuals are going to jeopardize their income like that.
It has interesting uses but I agree it’s more than a teeny bit dangerous. https://getamp.sh/ uses it to simplify the install command.
Only to immediately bomb following, showing that their metrics are extremely unreliable, and their user base volatile.
For a while there it was nigh impossible to legally get access to GOT in certain countries. Not to mention, when your only option is an insanity expensive streaming service, and the only thing you want there is one specific show, you’re likely to look for alternatives.
Someone didn’t pay attention to the community they’re commenting in.
Oddly I can see neither this reply, nor my original comment, but can reply from my inbox within Voyager.
