TL;DR: Reddit is removing the option to opt out of ad personalization, targeting ads based on user activity. Some specific ad categories can still be limited, but there’s no more opt-out option.

    They just went from we love you guys to we don’t even give a fuck bend over boy in like 6 months.

    Twitter has also shifted into a dystopian QQ wannabe.

    Meta has been a dumpster fire for a decade now.

    Tik Tok. heavy sigh

    This kinda seems like end of times.

      if this is your version of the end of times, I suggest you take a look out your window at the burning hellscape of western north america and other locations around the globe. I also hope you’re not too attached to birds or polar bears.

      If it’s the end of the era of social media, I’m plenty ok with that. Shit’s been cancer for almost a decade now.

        And may it usher in the era of antisocial media. The era where we all stop trying to impress each other, monetize each other, and just buy a thing and have it do the thing we bought it for, and not be bothered. Long may it reign.

          Lol that’s more like the end of American consumerism, and while I wholeheartedly agree, that’ll take a generation or two at least to decouple from American society. That shit’s been going strong here for over 100 years.
