2020 was highest ever in history (or at least the last few decades). 2024 was slightly less than 2020, but still taking 2nd place in raw numbers. To call that 'low' is extremely inaccurate and misleading.
Source? Because all the numbers seem to agree on it.
Hah, I had that happen to me, it was funny.
Yeah, there was plenty of discussion on Reddit back in the day about the drawbacks and pitfalls of the blocking system. Surprised to see people calling for its implementation here.
Doesn't quite recapture the feel of the 1st season to me, but still a great watch
Yep, happened on Reddit exactly as you theorised.
This happened exactly as you describe on Reddit.
It's not even theoretical. Reddit implemented this and the exact behaviour you described happened. Somebody tested and documented it.
though they are still able to see, vote, comment, and mine your content for descriptive data which can, has, and will lead to doxxing
Like 100% of the internet, you mean?
Reddit implemented this, and it was abused heavily to push trolls posts and disinformation up the algorithm, since by blocking people who disagreed with them, after multiple attempts the naysayers could no longer see the posts.
Somebody tested it, and was able to get their testing misinformation posts heavily upvoted after just a few days.
It was the actual author, who got annoyed that people couldn't recognise satire. Not much different from today, in other words ๐
