Wouldn’t a joint being passed around get all consumed in less than one pass? This is Grateful Dead we’re talking about.

Market predictability is at an extreme low. Rug pulls are happening on a regular basis, and spy is regularly being propped up by a few random, overvalued stocks.
I actually don't know what "market predictability" means. Like, the market is never predictable, right? That's why most money managers don't consistently make big profits. Is this a notion that can be quantified? Can you cite some evidence for what you've said? Anyway, the person I was responding to said volatility and that is the metric I cited.
The market is predictable, just on a macro level and on long timescales. Look at the S&P return per 10 years for the last couple of decades.

This is the thing, i hate their new ui... and if ever they get rid of their 'old' ui I would leave reddit. Their "New UI" was brought in in 2018, and to me was like a digg moment. To me, Hackernews is what Reddit was 10 years ago, just without subreddits. Clean top quality content.
It's weird. I was a huge user of Reddit from its launch to 2013 when I fell off the Internet. I didn't use it again until 2021, so I had a big jump in UI. As a UX designer I really don't get all the hate about the current interface. It works great for me.
The UI is fine. It’s nothing special in terms of design but it’s not outright offensive except to people used to the old one. The issue is that it’s dog slow.

It's just a sucky pile of JavaScript libraries.. I'm always stuck looking at the "pulsing gray bars as a placeholder for text" for way too long. They should focus on making it perform so it doesn't need tricks like that.
My main driver isn't the fastest (skylake i5) but it's much slower than any of the other sites I use. And on my gaming pc (Ryzen 5 5600) it's slow too. And I have 1gbit fibre.
Ps serious question, isn't it difficult being a UX designer when you've been off the internet for 8 years? Stuff has really changed a lot.

#125So Reddit is going to get even worse than it already is? Ugh, no thanks.
Re: Reddit files to go public
#126It's sad what Reddit has become and I only believe IPO-ing will accelerate that demise.
Yes, despite how Reddit has gotten worse over the years, it will be a huge loss for the web once it finally fully jumps the shark. Already it’s pretty much the last place to find real human opinions in a sea of content marketing garbage.

#127Reddit has me on some sort of ban that causes accounts to be permanently suspended within 24 hours of account creation regardless of what I do with that account, even if it's just make it and leave it alone. Also, anyone that comes to my home and connects to my wifi and then their reddit account will find their account permanently suspended within 24 hours. I've reached out to them multiple times to see what is happe…
Have your ISP cycle/release->renew your IP address. Don’t attempt to sign in to any of the previous accounts from the new IP. Should avoid their anti evil team’s tooling as long as you’re not causing trouble.
This but also don't use any email previously associated with any account cause they will go and blacklist your new IP too.

That's a whole other can of worms. I assumed that and asked ATT to do so and got the phone support equivalent of blank stares. I miss the old cable modem days where you could change the MAC address of the primary device attached to the ethernet port and force a new IP but not so with this Fiber ONT they gave me.

#129If you thought site performance is bad now, wait a few quarters when there are grey beard investors pressuring leadership to wring out the last shekels from this carcass.
Re: Reddit files to go public
#130Content aside, Reddit is possibly the worst performing large commercial website I have ever seen. Like half of all page loads and requests end with “something went wrong”. Search has been unusable from day 1, and somehow getting worse. Their new video player makes me want to throw my computer across the room. I have been using it on and off for a decade now and I can’t think of one aspect of the site (whether in term…
I don't know what you're talking about. Reddit is lightning fast, and is very stable... ...oh. I got it! You might be trying to use the dumpster fire that's https://reddit.com Ignore that, and head over to the actually functional Reddit at https://old.reddit.com It's like HackerNews in terms of performance. You can still set it as default. The "new" UI they have is unusable, and may God have mercy for the poor souls…
There's actually a mobile web view which works even better than old.reddit.com - it's i.reddit.com , and it's even faster, cleaner, and less javascript, with the added benefit that it doesn't display any of the custom CSS or customizations from the subreddit (like the header banners etc).
