Yup, Reddit on my Nokia with dark “mode” since 2011 lol
The entire /antiwork thing fizzled, didn’t it? It did for a few reasons:
– Reddit and communities pretty much always end up as pyramids with people at the top ripe for corruption, which happened here.
– The bigger an online community is, the stronger “recreational outrage” is. That is, people lash out with memes and extreme points of view, building nothing, not moving the conversation to a more interesting angle, only providing entertainment with a sprinkle of politics and a lot of ego trips.
– The sub should have been called /UBIorGTFO
The future of work is UBI, as I argued about it. From there, so many good things would spawn. For that, you need to channel that frustration and outrage into valid, stable solutions.
Let’s go!
