Reddit this week announced that it will no longer allow Reddit users to opt out of ad personalization, which means that ads on the platform will be...
TL;DR: Reddit is removing the option to opt out of ad personalization, targeting ads based on user activity. Some specific ad categories can still be limited, but there’s no more opt-out option.
if this is your version of the end of times, I suggest you take a look out your window at the burning hellscape of western north america and other locations around the globe.
I also hope you’re not too attached to birds or polar bears.
It’s almost like we can be upset about multiple things at one. Wow.
Why are we playing these games of let’s come up with something worse so we can devalue what someone else is talking about? This isn’t a competition. That is such unnecessary behavior.
How is it dramatic when it’s all interconnected to begin with? People noticing a shift like that online might start to get involved in other ways as well if they start to feel more of the effect personally. It’s a good thing that people are noticing this stuff.
Again it’s not a competition and people shouldn’t have to have their frustrations compared to something else, that is devaluing it. We are allowed to be upset about something and have that stand on its own without others chiming in and acting like it doesn’t matter because of something else so that they can act self important or more intelligent. It’s just old and tired.
You seem to have an incredibly bad attitude and I wouldn’t be shocked if you were trying to start something, so I’m done here. Maybe try some empathy out for a change.
I’m not trying to start anything, I just don’t follow your logic, and your comments seem like an over reaction.
I’m happy to agree to disagree though, and won’t presue a conversation neither of us really wants to have.
Hopefully you find other people on here that are more suited to your perspectives (I’m legitimately sorry we’re clashing). Lemmy is a great platform and I want you to enjoy it as much as I do

How am I devaluing what they are saying by pointing out there are much, much, more serious signals of a looming apocalypse?
It’s like worrying about the mosquito biting you in a room full of blood thirsty canibals.
I realize I shifted off topic, but they were getting a bit dramatic with the end of times bit

Phew! Luckily I just like penguins…
I have bad news. Penguins are a hybrid of bird and polar bear.
Even the name Penguin is a hybrid of polar and penguin.
My world ends whenever someone doesn’t understand hyperbole
Now I become death, destroyer of literary device
You became Death? How did you manage that?
By taking things literally, apparently
This makes me want to just set myself on fire!
