That explosion isn't real, it's not actually filmed at night, actors didn't really get shot, isn't filmed in real time.

If you have to start editing the movie yourself, to make it watchable, some story teller isn't doing their job. I guess we're at the Ikea point of 'movies', some assembly required.

Who watches movies anymore? Costs a fortune, theater is dirty, people are annoying, food is overpriced, show times are inconvenient, ...

At home you can just choose another movie to watch, pick another video.

'start over from scratch' is not an option. Many of the other ideas that the left has for reforming the police, such as extra training for soft skills, don't really work. I just don't hear any good ideas. That's the issue, the left really doesn't put out a comprehensive plan for policing communities that needs it.

Also, the devil in in the details. How will the voting process work?

I curbed my use of Reddit about a month ago. I started getting low quality right-wing posts in my feed. Maybe it was an algorithm trying to egg me on, but it had the opposite effect and I left.

When all the A+ student's leave (moderators doing the work, people writing good comments), the class goes on, but in a diminished form. It'll be a slow decline.

kbin.social feels lively. Reddit just feels like a mine field of trolls/bots/conspiracies.

Google, ChatGPT, and all those language models are going to have a very hard time with this. People will change their old comments to random nonsense, so search results will that use Reddit will become random nonsense.

Bots voting out the humans.

Someone will buy Reddit, doesn't they'll care about the company. People buy companies to kill them off. The stock market is not a rational creature.

This will make Reddit worse. Some people will start to edit their comments to make them nonsense. Trust will erode further. Search will slowly become nonfunctional.
From a users perspective, coming across a nonsensical thread (because comments have been edited), is much worse than see deleted comments. Not only does trust disappear people, but people become angry that the comments are outright random/bizarre/lies.
