Corpo Meltdown
In protest against reddits API changes the "interestingasfuck" subreddit plans to reopen after a week long blackout with just one rule: posters have to consider their content "interesting as fuck" for it to be allowed in the sub. That's it. In addition, reddits site-wide rules are still in place, and any content breaking *those* rules will be handed over to Reddits "Anti-Evil Operations", their site-wide moderation team. They're also *much better* equipped to figure out which users are bots, so when in doubt bots are to be reported to them, they'll *surely* do a good job enforcing reddits Rules. (Google them, they have a *stellar* track record!) Reporting rulebreaks to AEO is encouraged, and the subreddits been marked as NSFW as a precaution. Gone are the days where you'd need to have a minimum amount of karma, or mods would check if they deemed your post actually interesting. I'm personally hoping for lots of pictures of interesting sticks, John Oliver and a hint of frogs! 🐸

> I don’t know if I agree with the characterization that Apollo is a fully direct competitor of Reddit. > Okay, hold on, timeout. You go to the App Store, you type in Reddit, you get two options, right? There’s Apollo. You go to one, it’s my business, and you look at our ads, use our products. That’s 95 percent of our iOS users. The rest go to Apollo, which uses our logo, or something like it, takes our data — for free — and resells it to users making a 100 percent margin. And instead of using our app, they use that app. Is that not competitive? 🤡
