I used to create new accounts and pick up some karma on those freekarma4you subs and similar, where people upvote eachother just for karma.

Last time I did this, recently, the account (which was brand new) was shadow banned in multiple different subs that I used to participate, without having had any prior activity on those subs at all.

I can only imagine there is some kind of auto filter shadow banning accounts which post on these karma subs that mods or admins are using now. So it will be even harder for newer accounts to participate, I honestly don't know how I'd have managed to get karma to comment on any sub any other way.

I am pretty sure a bunch of mods on big subreddits are actually Reddit employees cosplaying as normal users too.

Oh, and Reddit is now shadow banning your accounts when you evade a ban on a sub. So now I got all my accounts shadow banned because I ended up commenting on a sub I was banned on one account without noticing it, so I have zero reasons to go back to using reddit anymore. At least before I got a ban and was notified about how long it would take for my accounts to be usable again, now they are shadow banned without any notifications and I have no idea if they will ever go back to normal or not, so fuck it.

Incoming a bunch of clickbait and fake advertisement about paid content that a bunch of redditors will pay for to access, and then realize the content isn't there, isn't what they thought it would be or isn't worth paying for / is shit.

Hey, pay to see my sub guys, I promise there are posts with pictures of [????]. You pay and then it is all AI generated pics. Etc.

It is more like the data could make money in the future but is not making money right now so they don't have infinite money for storage. If they had I am sure they would be happy to increase free storage limits.

These companies hoard data they might have an use for but not even know how yet. Training AI and shit. Deleting stuff ain't in their dictionary.

Thanks, not this in specific but it was something related to not shuting down properly. I powered off from windows by holding the off button instead of clicking on shutdown (I was afraid windows would want to install updates b/c I didn't use it for so long). So I booted windows again and turned it off properly then Debian came back to life.

Agree, where I live for recurring subscriptions most people use "digital credit cards" that you generate on your banking app and they have short expiration dates or you can cancel them and generate a new one anytime you want. That's good because there are so many services that make it a pain in the ass to cancel a subscription so you just delete the card from existence.

I see. From that list the international purchases is a good reason to use PayPal in Brazil. I only have an account there because like 6 years ago I needed to pay for a TOEFL certification and without an international card the only way was PayPal so it worked pretty nicely. Never had to use it after that tho. Hope you guys get a better alternative so PayPal can die a horrible death.

For economists (and business) students it isn't a graphing calculator but same thing with HP12c (financial calculator). But it is only like 40 dollars.
