Tell me about it! I swear they have been making adjustments to their algorithms for the past months year.

Before thee protest, I've been getting increasingly annoyed at the content Reddit decides to show me. The subs I chose to follow are all great and often offer something engaging in the best ways possible, and finding a good piece of content there has never been an issue... expect for the past time, where I got what felt like pre-digested and advertiser-friendly posts that I was supposed to maybe vote on and keep scrolling.

I understand that business is about money, but seeing tech largely following the same practices and strategies just to keep pumping cash for execs to liquidate is so mind-numbing and obnoxious. That's gonna sound stupid, but sometimes I wish the tech people would just kick the finance people out of the field and do their own thing, which is what the average people like, too, simply because that's the conditions when really cool and enjoyable shit is born.

Or maybe we all should just collectively pile up some cash buy some land, build ourselves a self-sustainable settlement and get away from the hungry execs.

We all just lack spez's grand vision of a corporate future where we all are simply not allowed to avoid talking about Rampart.

The fact that I never saw any content from /r/switchhacks on my feed despite having been subscribed for years led me to believe that Nintendo had had a "discussion" with Reddit and they complied.

Do you know if there's a switch hacks community in the threadiverse?

I couldn't find one.

There's one for Switch piracy, but there aren't any posts yet.

No posts? We've got to start planting seeds if we want to grow a garden.

I'll figure out something interesting to post there tomorrow.
