    No. Ever since my work injury, looking at a screen or playing games causes me to be incredibly sick.

    I played 20 minutes of Skyrim yesterday, and I was so sick midday I had such a bad migraine I took a nap and had hot flashes where I sweat through my shirt. Last night barely slept due to nightmares.

    The website includes a quote from a Reddit employee:

    Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and Redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month we will start requiring everyone to log in.

    I didn’t realize casually browsing a website is “abusive scraping”. Isn’t that the equivalent of claiming that reading a news article online is “abusive scraping”?





  • I made the decision to purge my Reddit account - bulk deleted everything I’ve commented and posted, and deleted my account. I don’t like the direction they’re headed in. When I first started using it, discussion was 100% encouraged; if you looked hard enough and tried hard enough, you could get into deep conversations or learn something you hadn’t known before. Nowadays, though, anything you post is subject to Reddit’s keyboard warriors. Instead of actually discussing things, they name call and go through your Reddit history to find something to make fun of you for. Hell, did you know even if you had your Reddit account set to private, people could download extensions to see it?
