Truck to avoiding that is to never get gold. Took me 10 years to never get gold once. I'm good at what I don't do.

I can't afford a fancy lift. Sure as hell wouldn't be going around parking it places though.

Even if you don't have shareholders yet, gotta brown nose before hand to impress them.

I've been being a bit more lax with what I'd ask compared to Reddit and what others have been asking too, I can't exactly google especially kbin questions and people have been helpful, and I've tried to be helpful back where I can.
Unless I hear otherwise I'm going to try to engage way more on here than I'm used to, adds content and starts conversations. I may make a cheese ball or bad joke here and there, maybe get an answer wrong but hey you miss all the omelettes you don't swing at.

He spammed me with the same comment this morning. He got the same response as here.

I wonder what the actual engagement is for those FB users, I only have a few friends post on there. Majority use it for marketplace and messenger, only one of those get ads. I'm sure many signed up and don't use it in third world countries where internet isn't consistent. I've never seen a breakdown of meta users and I'm sure there's a good reason for them not wanting to share that.

That's a good way of putting it. It's really refreshing for people to act polite and give benefit of the doubt. I know that the honeymoon period won't last forever. But when the dust settles I hope it stays a happier place than Reddit.

Solid point. One thing that these companies will realize quickly if they plan to move from ad based to subscription services is that a lot of them won't make it. Especially when the price of everything is so high. It no feasible for people to sub to 8 streaming services between film and music, add on a VPN, the odd Patreon, lots of people with ring and other camera and security subscriptions. I get that people will shuffle between services, but that might not be enough, and the more they go for the customers throat, the more likely people will realize it's a want and nowhere near a need.

I quit when rif went down. I've never used an official app, desktop site, mobile site etc. Rif was Reddit to me for 10 years. Maybe leaving as a collective will make some difference, maybe not, but I'm going to start being more firm on how much I'll let companies try to push me around expecting me to just take it. They built it on our backs, then just took it away so a literal select few can cash in, when they are already filthy rich and had other options.

I've been explaining it to others as if you broke your phone. Now it's frustrating getting used to a new phone, but it has lots of new features you never even thought of that make up for the inconveniences. Sure I could go back to my old phone, it's comfortable to use, but the screen is broken and it cuts me now and again, and over time it'll cut me more often. I'd rather get used to the new phone.

This past year I've dealt with food going up, gas, utilities, rent, hell cigarettes and even beer, my fishing license went up. Every single nook and cranny they can pull a cent from you they will.
I'm done choosing to let them. If they want my data, my attention, my content, they can pull it from my cold dead hands damnit.

Ok weird ass Braveheart speech over and out.

Ya mine went from 100 to zero to almost 800, I'm guessing it must have finally been fixed.

I agree with you. Also an observation (not positive or negative in any way) a lot of the younger people I see under 20 persay are seemingly very quiet and reserved, that might be just a social thing and they are much more outgoing in other situations. I've heard that drinking alcohol is also much lower, so if you have quite a few people that don't feel comfortable dancing, are more used to being social online, and drink less then I would assume that dancing might be a little more rare. I think op might just have been in a bit of a bubble growing up where culturally it's was more open to dancing.

I noticed it too, so its not just you. I think that the less moderated any site is, the loudest minority will make themselves heard, even against the majority. Well structured sites are worth the effort to them it seems.
