Is this what passes for journalism these days?

I believe more often than not it does these days...

I agree fully, but I want to add that I would not suggest a freerange VPN.

Nothing is free on a free VPN - you pay with your data. It's always a question of trust using any type of VPN, but a free VPN is 100% going to sell collected information to ... whom ever.

Anything else. Yes. Save everything, leech everything. I hate streaming music... it makes no sense to me. A movie I watch once ... mh. maybe. Anything else. Load it. Save it. Hoard it.

Good call. I did not think of them. I guess their business model would be sustainable enough to provide this within limitation for free. I'm using their (paid) email service since they are the only ones to my knowledge not using AWS storage. (Also one of the reasons behind their quite high prices compared to others)

Surely a sustainable model. Great move reddit. /s

I never used digg.com and im a bit out of the loop, but wasn't it almost the same issue that essentially killed it?

It's a very bizzare modell to make users pay to access their own created content. I get that hosting costs money and it needs to be paid. but the amount of adds on plebbit has become unbearable / that should get them money enouth to cover hosting. Maybe I'm living under a rock...

My perspective and opinion surely doesn't alling with - who ever is in charge at reddit. Almost exclusively all content is created by users - for free, for others - they provide a platform, moderation etc. yes. but I don't belive "this is the way" - without the content creators, they don't exist.

EDIT: sure sure they have their own app, you can use the website. The official reddit app is unusalbe to me - just for the fact of privacy invasion. I haven't even properly tried it for performance. Essentially shutting the door for developers of 3.party apps - which all together made reddit what it had become ... is like... yea. I'm done.

I recentely had do use reddits via web-browser from a public library computer - no adblockers or anything; I was honestly shocked abou the amount of ads and sponsored posts. It's too much. way to much.

maybe at some point a project - like reddit - just becomes too large to handle in a good way... I don't know. It's sad to see - I like(d?) reddit and I always felt it's a nice and friendly community.
