What happened to reddit in general?

The mods all sell competing nootropics so they steer people away from modafinil with bad experience threads, bad batch shit and the like. Yes it was a cool place a long time ago with people like Gwern making interesting posts but even then it was corrupt as hell.

All mods there are corrupt, not because reddit is bad (its actually as good as you could hope it to be) but because who the fuck else would want to do the work without pay?

reddit pretty much outlawed the afinil sub when the american government started holding them liable for content. Rex posted that his account was cancelled, you can see it on his page.

Yeah they killed r/darknetmarkets at the same time.

VIVA!

isn't it awesome.

What country you in

China

Innovation is always the best answer for this shit; a technology that makes it possible to compete without a huge investment will end the monopoly. Then low and behold the old guys won’t be sucking your blood anymore they will be alive and competing!

Waiting for the White Knight like this is great for the long run but it doesn’t change what everyone has to face right now.

There's an old solution for monopoly suppliers, Cooperatives. If a monopoly is owned by its users then the whole conflict between greed and utility just disappears. Cooperatives been around for farming since before my grandfather’s time I don’t know exactly how long but they were used to buy big tools and grain elevators that every farmer could share.

I buy my groceries from a co-op, much, much better products than the chain supermarket and good prices.

If the users organize a boycott it can force the monopolist into better behavior. Though it can be kind of ugly and tends to leave a bitter taste for both sides. A theatrical action before this could be a petition or media generation on social networks.
