It's Business Insider. They are very pro-capitalist.

Indeed he did. Years ago, they were holding auditions in my area for a new guitarist after Wes Borland left. They asked people to demo stuff they had written, rather than try to play along with their current songs. After auditions wrapped, they didn't pick anyone and life went on.

Cut to a few months later when their next album dropped. The local rock station that helped sponsor the audition starts getting numerous calls from people saying the material they demoed during the audition got incorporated into songs from the new album. No credit or compensation was given to any of them. From that point on, the radio station rightfully blacklisted them.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Hell, the IDF shot three Israelis without provocation.

That was a good 10+ years ago. Ever since the redesign, the default Reddit experience kept getting more mainstream. Many of us were able to avoid it by using old.reddit and 3rd party mobile apps, but the apiocalypse ended that for most users. Hence, why a good many users joined Lemmy about 6 months ago.

TL:DR- The enshitification of Reddit was a gradual thing that finally reached a tipping point for many here last June.

I know the Square from my childhood is long dead, but it would be nice if they could stop desecrating it's corpse.

I use self checkout because I don't want to fake a conversation with the cashier.

That's just objectively false. He was mentioned on reddit frequently prior to his suicide, which was a very big deal at the time.
