Elon Musk just turned your DMs into an ad for Twitter Blue. But you can change it back. Here's how.

    Who knew that removing functionality and limiting access to your product was the path to social media success.

        Spez literally said in an interview that Musk’s handling of twitter is what inspired him so

            Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.

              I don’t know, but don’t read it unless they gilded themselves 3 times… whoops.

            They also deleted all chat history from prior to this year.

          I think they also plan to block you viewing Reddit in mobile browsers so you must get their app.

            And that will be when I completely stop browsing Reddit. I already dropped my useage by probably 95%. If they do that, it’ll drop to about 99.9% since I do most of my browsing away from my desk.

              For real lol. It was my “information” app for coffee breaks at work or when I had downtime. I’m only at my computer to game, not browse Reddit
