They're hoping they can annoy people into subscribing.

And yet all they did was annoy people into leaving. The only ones left are those that think they can't live without a platform.

Source? Would love to believe it, but... I don't.

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

Source is common sense. People either get annoyed enough to leave, or are dumb and stay. Well, third option - like with YouTube - is to circumvent their bullshit somehow. But that's not possible with every platform.

Pro tip: whenever someone asks you if you have a source and you say either "common sense" or "go find out", you have just said "no I don't."

Why would this need a source? Is this scientific material or some shit? Do I have to include source of what I write every time?
