My two cents: they should have gone with The Woz with an Apple II computer by his side.

The more I read about the history of Apple, the more I realized Woz was the genius and Jobs was just a sociopathic con man.

I would upvote if it wasn't for my account being deleted lmao

LOL!

Got to love the users who entirely miss the point. Complaining that this is ruining their experience, well go complain to Reddit for failing to listen to community feedback and refusing to negotiate.

Users of subs are choosing these paths which is way more user driven than what Reddit admins are doing.

This is hilarious lol. The fuckwit himself (Spez) forced subreddits to reopen with an iron fist and now we're starting to see the consequences. Schadenfreude at its finest

I think it's more Malicious Compliance than Schadenfreude 🤔

Either way, fuck u/spez.

They should make sure all the posts are about the iPhone, the internet phone made by Linksys in the late 90s.

So is that some kind of workaround to protest the API changes while still technically discussing something iPhone related, to avoid mods being removed?

Whatever the reason, I love it.

Moderators are unable to stop Reddit from reopening their Subreddits because keeping them closed may be seen as a breach of the terms of service. However, they can alter the Subreddit’s rules and reopen it with these changes, especially if the community agrees. This action is not forbidden by any Reddit rule (so far). Community consensus is reached through voting. As a result, the Subreddit becomes inundated with low-value content such as pictures and memes, which puts more pressure on the platform as it currently desperately strives to increase its value.
