I worry that the prevalence of ill-informed hot-takes dilutes the validity of complaints, and I appreciate your work here

Reddit stopped being any good when that guy doing a batman/joker role reversal writing prompt stopped posting

I agree, and whilst I don’t personally bother with vpns myself because I prefer other solutions, it’s one of the things that helps prevent insane UK politicians’ bad hottakes on tech becoming law

Reddit’s official UX experiences suck balls

For the ‘I use … BTW’ meme to say something else.
