Some of my favorite subs have started going private already. I moved RiF out of the tray and replaced it with Jerboa.
I started my aggregated news with slashdot and fark. Moved to Digg after Kevin Rose announced it on TTV. went to Reddit at digg v2 because Reddit looked like diggv1. Went to rif when mobile usage passed my computer usage, now I’m here!
What’s your story?
Okay, so it’s shit in comparison, yeah that makes sense - quite an often occasion with things that are done by passionate people vs ones that are corporate shitouts.
As to the point about video download - yes, they do, but I think it’s more about reddit not wanting you download them (they can’t blatantly prohibit it but they can create some friction) as well as for example YouTube doesn’t want you to download them and rather share on their terms.
