Absolutely perfect. People that joined today will have no clue what the beans are about and I’m all for it. It does feel like home.

It is. They know everything about you. Even every store you have shopped at knows a lot about you. It really doesn’t take much interaction for a company to get a lot of info. It’s relatively easy to get an email and from there, if they wanted, they can get the rest of your profile from a 3rd party who has your data all matched up already. They can also build your profile pretty easily themselves as well.

Really appreciate all the hard work going on behind the scenes! Feels night and day different after the changes. Also appreciate the transparency. Nice to see in this day and age.

For me it was /r/cfb. That place was completely insufferable if you were simply a fan of a particular team. When it started it wasn't bad, like an occasional ribbing if your team under-performed. I get that it's cyclical, but man, was it bad. I also don't think that most people realized it was mostly a circlejerk and real content was hard to find in that mountain of shit.

How do they expect to bring new people into the platform? No tweet is important enough for the activation energy of someone to create an account to view it. Fuck twitter anyway, but from a product perspective, that's a pretty dumb idea unless they have positive metrics on conversions in this manner.
