I pay for Spotify for 7 years or so now and i'm so sick of all the ads. After every update there seems to be an: oops, sorry, you have ads now. Podcasts are filled with ads. I was just listening to a podcast where they shoved in 3 ads mid-sentence. How long until musicians put ads in their songs. I'm just so sick of it.
@BruceTwarzen I think Amazon Music offers ad-free versions of certain podcasts that partner with them if you have an Amazon Music subscription. Since the ads are usually inserted into the audio track by the podcast's creators themselves, the distribution platforms don't have control over where they are placed.
It doesn't play super nice with foldable phones. The UI doesn't adapt correctly without restarting the app and you end up with a very dense interface of overlapping buttons if you try going from open to closed. The address bar becomes completely blocked by all the extra buttons from the tablet layout, so the app is unusable.
I browse All a lot and right now, without doing any scrolling and just looking at the top 6 posts on All that fit on my monitor, 2 of them are about Linux lol
I was looking at reddit today, and the front-page felt like nothing happened. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and clicked into comments. Everything is popping off buzzing with activity. All the subreddits I was subscribed to that went dark are now back up and business as usual....
Ah, Reddark is only tracking subreddits that said they were participating, the ones that listed themselves in the Modcoord threads. There are far more subreddits that exist than the 8,829 they're tracking.
It's the number of users logging in and hitting those servers that's the main issue. 44,000 users is a lot for one instance to be pushing content to. I wouldn't say it's just aggregating Lemmy content either though, there are plenty of popular communities on kbin as well, including this one.
It's the stevia, it's a sweetener but also a laxative. There's a certain brand of soda that uses stevia as its sweetener also and will have the same effect.

Reddit and its communities are preparing for a life after the platform's API changes forced popular third-party apps to shut down.
Reddit feels like it's gone back to 100% normalcy already. Was the protest a failure? (beehaw.org)

The Threadiverse hits 100K active users, 2 weeks after reaching 50K. (fedidb.org)
The next 2 weeks...any predictions/bets on what it will be then?
I need to survive for 3 days while pooping as much as possible. I can pee as often as I like. It can take up loads of space. What food do I pack?
Please don’t ask why I need this....
