Not just corporate censorship, also all the other stuff they were doing. I do not want to be used and manipulated and made addicted just so some business can make a little more money.
Spez killed third party apps so he could track people and sell ads. First party apps were bad and getting worse. And the whole way it went down was just dishonest and shitty. I don’t wanna support that.
I also really enjoyed being able to see new content AND comment on it/interact with the community. That was the reason Reddit was cool to me. If I didn’t channel that energy towards something else I’d have ended up back on Reddit.
And the cherry on top, I love the idea of decentralized social networks. It’s better for the internet.
His deadpan monotone delivery. His ascerbic wit, constant roasting. Steady & intimidating And he never broke or laughed (that I’ve ever seen). A bit of a writing & comedic performance genius in my opinion.
I didn’t really know much about him until fairly recently, I remembered when he died and everyone on Reddit was mourning him and I had never really heard of him, but lately I’ve been binge-watching Norm Macdonald clips on YouTube and oh my gosh I’m captivated by him.
kind of similar sense of deadpan captivating humor as Nathan Fielder who I also just recently became aware of and I’m also currently mesmerized by.
Try this compilation okay he’s not absolutely the best comedian to ever grace the planet, and some patience is required to hang on to listening to him until he builds up to the joke, but I just like his personality he is so calm and deadpan, I don’t know why I’m making a post about him but blah blah blah
It’s really hard to explain, because really, he’s not that funny, but I find that hilarious!
Like the moth story, or Uncle Frank in 'Nam, he just creates this awkward tension where you know your listening to a joke, but this guy is saying just such depressing or horrific shit while keeping a slightly goofy tone. You expect a punchline around every corner, but he just keeps dragging you in, and you’re wondering how this terrible story is going to be funny, and he hits you with a mediocre punchline that any third grader could have seen coming a mile away, but he’s built so much tension and sucked you into this story and you couldn’t see what was right in front of you the whole time.
He’s not telling a joke, he’s playing a joke on YOU. That could be part of why people either love him or hate him. As long as there’s no harm, I’ll be the first to laugh at a joke played on me, but I know there are others that don’t appreciate that at all.
If you didn’t like his Weekend Update bits they were some of his best stuff IMO. You might also look at his guest appearances on Conan O’Brien, he regularly cracked Conan up.
Reddit permanently banned me because I was mocking white supremacists on a subreddit made for mocking white supremacists. That happened because one of the Nazis I posted who has a giant swastika face tattoo noticed his picture on Reddit and said on Facebook he was complaining to the admins.
So Reddit is supportive of white supremacists so fuck Reddit.
Firstly, I don’t support their views in your example.
I don’t like that they get to spread them. The same thing could be said about people who are anti religion against people talking about their religion. Both parties might say they don’t like the other spreading their views.
If someone moched a cancer patient, we’d loose our minds.
When someone mocks supremacists, we enjoy it. They don’t. The difference is our perspective.
If the mocked or bullied cancer patient contacted mods, the offending account would get banned.
If we mock one group and get banned and other mock another group and don’t, isn’t that being hypocritical?
Again, I have no sympathy for some hater crying about their feeling getting hurt when they post garbage, more pathetic than anything.
If we mock one group and get banned and other mock another group and don’t, isn’t that being hypocritical?
The cancer patient didn’t chose to have cancer, and doesn’t deliberately make the lives of other people worse. The supremacist chose to BE cancer on society, actively and deliberately making the lives of a lot of people worse, and feeling entitled to do so.
If someone acts like an asshole, they shouldn’t be surprised about being treated like an asshole.
Yeah, no doubt. I’m picturing the same person saying hateful stuff turning around saying how unfair it is to get called out, using a super whiny voice. Irony.
If you don’t see a difference between mocking people for their illness and mocking them for their anti-humanitarian views, I don’t know how to explain it to you.
Cancer patients don’t decide to have cancer. White supremacists decide to be pieces of shit. Not the same.
Also, cancer patients are not trying to eradicate human rights for everyone but themselves.
Had to call the police because some kids were vandalizing a subway station. While that was going on there was a dude on a bench quietly doing what I hope was stroking his pet banana in his pants. Yay society.
Just looked him up on YT. First two bits were “there are too many deserts now” and “Norm doesn’t know what metaphors are”. Not offensive but super dated. He was probably very funny in his day.
