Constantly stuck between not understanding the people who get so upset at stupid publicity stunts like this, and even further not understanding the twitch viewers that bankroll this insanity.

They kill Old Reddit and I am through.  Kind of like this place, I hardly ever come here anymore. 

why tho. It looks ugly as balls, I have to click on “Continue Conversation” 20 times to follow a thread, it doesn’t support CSS so every single subreddit looks pretty much the same etc etc

Modern corporate web design isn’t to deliver content to its users - it’s to keep them moving to show them the maximum amount of ads and harvest the most data.

You know, considering how awful and intrusive Kotaku’s ads are on mobile, I think it’s kind of hilarious to see you calling out what is fairly benign (albeit also still pretty crappy) compared to your own site’s ads, which are massive and page engulfing.

It is insane to me that the majority of visitors now use that ugly ass new Reddit.

god I read the headline and was afraid they were getting rid of old.reddit. Regular reddit is so fucking bad, like I literally don’t understand why it exists. But I guess it follow the standard internet pattern of taking something that is simple, elegant, and useful and changing it to something ugly and hard to use.

Me either, but most of what I watch on Youtube is movie trailers, clips from TV shows, or video game music compilations. It’s always funny when I see someone incredibly popular I’ve never heard of, goes to show how big the world is (also I’m probably getting old).

Sounds like a “you” problem, I’m sure the guy and his company rich enough off of entertaining folks and making tech videos to decline a $100 million buy-out offer have enough folks who have heard of them to compensate.

These comments are always so dumb. The dude is mega-famous in the gaming community and tech reviews, and he’s built an extremely successful platform to the point where his company could decline a $100 million buy-out offer. He’s popular, regardless of what you—the main character, apparently—know about him.

It makes sense when you conceptualise it as taking a master artist role, a running your own atelier kind of thing. You suddenly have immense creative control and input over others, and still get to add personal work

I also bet you haven't heard of many other things not in your circle, it doesn’t mean they magically aren't popular the universe doesn’t revolve around you 

Well if you follow tech/computers at all you likely would have heard of him.

You could have spent 10 seconds on google to avoid making stupid posts like that.

He’s got over 15 million subs on YouTube.  Your anecdotal lack of awareness of him does not negate his popularity.  

Kudos to Linus for having the maturity and humility to make this move. This right here is why a ton of game studios and tech companies crash and burn or end up with super toxic work cultures, because the founders were coders or designers or artists—people who don’t necessarily have the skillset, temperament, or actual…

That is the most divorced senior developer put this in detail I can think of

Some people have to mention how much they hate trans people any chance they get.

The Epic store has been around for a few years now and is STILL barebones. I HATE using their store.

You’re missing one of two qualifications. You need one of these:
