Hijacking to pose another legacy piracy question. My dad would often buy pirated DVDs at the barbershop. You know, with the sharpeid title on the disk. Occasionally we would get a DVD with an unfinished movie in it. It would often have a watermark saying something like “Property of Universal “ and some scenes, especially CG heavy ones, would be incomplete. I assume these were leaked from editing houses or the sort but is this a type of release that’s seen in modern pirating?

You say investors see lots of active users who actively hate the site and don’t see future growth.

I think they see a lot of users who say they hate the site but despite that they still use the site and the numbers continue to grow. To me that sounds like a dependent user base that even through hard times continues to grow.

Well stop doing your part. Stop interacting with Reddit. They are almost certainly doing Place right now just to boost their numbers and you’re falling for it

BaconReader was my first Reddit app on Android all the way before there was even an official app. I remember one time the developer sent me some BaconReader stickers in the mail.

I read the book recently for the first time and then watched the movie. The entire time I thought this is awesome to see these scenes from the book but I would have absolutely o idea what’s going on if I didn’t just read it

I’m assuming something is messed up with the cache service. This could mean that other users could have read-only access to your data but not update or act on your behalf. It’s definitely something that should be fixed but I’m not sure there is anything super private that would be revealed.

Steam had an issue like that a couple years ago but it was worse because it revealed other users personal details like payment methods and home addresses.
