X by Google, X by Twitter, X by X. Terrible branding on all sides and I am so not interested in any of this bullshit.

Having a critique of a thing is orthogonal to being interested in the thing.

There are plenty of topics I find fun to engage in dialog about, despite having no interest in the topic itself.

We, as humans, seem to generally enjoy being a part of the zeitgeist, being swept away with whatever the latest fascination is, even if we aren't interested in the actual topic. And that's ok. We are allowed to enjoy that social experience on both the micro ("all my friends are getting really into houseplants, I will too!") and the macro ("lol, Elon Musk is an unbelievable idiot") scale.

Yes, X as a brand lacks uniqueness. Xbox X factor X-men Xvideos Etc etc Seems to me musk just loves the domain. Domain: $10,000,000 Users: $44,000,000,000

The Xbox brand is very unique because they think numbers go from 0 to 360 to 1.

Tough to overflow when bound to a loop, I guess

I commented on Reddit's latest moves, downloaded their app just to use it for a while and give it a bad review. Deleted the app and haven't gone there in a while Just because you comment on something doesn't mean you'll use it

God that thing is fucking terrible.

You can't change font size? But what if I don't like to read walls of tiny text?

And what the hell is with the video playback UI? I want to see comments under a video post, why do you take me to full-screen video playback no matter what I do? About 50% of the time I manage to tap something somewhere which makes it work on 3rd try, but I wish that percentage was higher.
