Reddit recently removed years of chat and message archives from users’ accounts without warning as part of an infrastructure upgrade. Many Redditors were upset to discover that their chat histories from before January 2023 were no longer accessible. Reddit claims they only migrated data from 2023 forward during the transition to the new chat infrastructure. Some users were able to retrieve some of their old messages by requesting their Reddit data, though others reported that not all messages were recovered. Along with this change, Reddit has recently made other unpopular decisions like ending Reddit Gold, showing a lack of communication and consideration for users’ sentimental attachment to their online data.

      I was speculating that maybe they are going to drive the stock price into the ground and the magically “fix everything” to make it go back up, and make money on that…somehow. I’m not a stocks person so I don’t know.

        This isn’t how corporations work. One, they don’t have that kind of foresight. All most of them care about is the next quarter, and being more profitable than they were at the same time the previous year. Two, they’re not going to purposefully tank their own stock, not for any reason. If “they” did (assuming you mean the C-suite folks who would be in charge of operations), they would be replaced by shareholders pretty quickly for not fulfilling their fiduciary duty.

        Year 2030 is a global target for renovations in every aspects of societies and countries.

        According to whom? What kind of world do you live in where there’s some kind of overarching “force” with “targets” like that?

        If I’m being honest, it sounds like conspiracy theory BS.

          You’re right. In my experience, the Blackrock thing is the bait to a slippery slope of crazy conspiracies and MRA goonery.

        Year 2030 is a global target for renovations in every aspects of societies and countries.

        By what method? Is that when the secret computer chip in the vaccine will turn on and kill us? Thereby removing all the people who have shown they’ll do anything the government tells them to do, leaving behind all the staunch and distrustful individualists who are harder to control? Or is this some other global renovation?

          Haha it is funny that you oppose only with the arguments you read from fact checkers instead of going to Youtube and see what those globalists says by themselves. In every country the top politicians goes regularly to their meetings who talks harsh things directly and all you know is that all they talked is a conspiracy theory. You always repeat the sentences who nobody actually said, expect fact checkers. Lol

            Firstly, the term “globalists” is an anti-Semitic dogwhistle. Beyond that usage, it’s meaningless.

            Secondly, YouTube is riddled with disinformation. This is primarily due to the algorithm which drives receptive users to extremist videos (and skeptical users who might refute those videos away from them). It’s also because it’s a lot more difficult to fact-check spoken language than written language.

              I’m not siding with that maniac but can you please elaborate how “globalist” is code for antisemitism? I thought it was a rallying call for nationalists with no racial connotations but I’m obviously missing something.

            Since you described them as “globalists”, it’s clear that anything you say can easily be disregarded

            If only we could have understood how dangerous it would be for one or two generations of people with zero understanding of what “research” means to be allowed to propagate that misunderstanding to hundreds of millions of people.

            Watching videos on YouTube doesn’t equal “research,” and thinking it does is actively making you stupid.
