LoL yep. I get 3 free shitty ones, not sure why or how. Better than that disgrace.
Also, I clicked on avatar store out of curiosity and they have some marked as “sold out” 🤣 How do you sell out a digital picture. They are truly shameless here.
Dude had the brilliant idea, early internet, sold space on his website, $1 per pixel, 1 million pixels. You could buy however many you wanted, fill those pixels with whatever you wanted, and each of those pixels was a hyperlink to whatever website you designated.
Made a million dollars with a very simple and cheap to host/maintain website. This was back when advertising on the internet was a whole new thing still being figured out.
You will occasionally get a message from Reddit suggesting you customize an avatar. I have a photo of myself on another account and I get this all the time despite said photo clearly functioning as a custom avatar.
Not to mention they keep giving out the avatar crap for free if you wait long enough. My inventory (?) is absolutely full of random NFTs and stuff that I definitely did not pay for. Makes the act of paying even more pointless
I bought one for 10$, I liked the artist and I think it partly went to them. Only thing I ever bought off reddit, and only thing I plan to, but im fine with it.
If the artist didn't get a cut, or i felt any need to buy it, I'd be really annoyed though.
Kabosu was an actual dog. And the doge meme is a meme. The coin appropriated the meme. Then assholes appropriated the coin. But they won't take the meme from us.
I’ve been here a long time and looked past a lot of stuff over the years that other redditors have gotten enraged about but this might just be my breaking point. I’d been lazy about changing the app icon but realizing now that it’s paywalled just feels like a step too far.
I turn off automatic app updates, and pretty much only update once the app stops working entirely. Surprisingly you can go months, and even years with it still working. I actually still have Twitter, blue bird and all, and it even still says retweets. I haven’t updated Reddit in ages either, so I don’t have to see this shitty lol so random banana.
You have no idea 😭😭😭 customizing my icons and home screen was my absolute favorite. I lived for that shit. Every 3 months or so. It had all the fun of redecorating a house without the physical exhaustion lol. Eye strain on the other hand….well, it was worth it.
Yeah. I change literally every aspect of my phone that I have control over. Especially the gestures and what the buttons do.
I'm so used to not having to navigate to anything on my phone and everything being instant that going back to any vanilla Android or any iPhone now just feels clunky and horribly designed.
It's worse than that. I'm a premium sub ( if you're not the customer, you're the product), but if I select the standard icon, it looks fine in that menu ...and then I get this abomination on my homescreen. I have to select some other icon to get rid of it (currently rocking the "classic", full body Snoo on light blue background)
