I hope those people living in the Midwest making 40K a year got their income bumped up to 60-70K a year so they could afford the new housing market.

That’s the real rub with these studies that use national averages. It’s not affordable for anyone, anywhere - unless you’re blessed with a remote job paying HCOL money and don’t mind moving somewhere where the nearest doctor is an hour away and the local past time is fentanyl and larceny.

Tbh I think the vast majority of people that use these sites are just there to mindlessly scroll. I do imagine a lot of their reactions to the protests was to be pissed at the weird basement dwellers disrupting their porn/aww/etc feeds

More than anything, the fact that Reddit absolutely quadruple-downed on steering people to their garbage app at the same time probably drove a lot of that crowd away. I regard it like Twitter X now: just another rotting, closed-off corporate theme park - and I refuse to believe any content I hit a login wall after getting linked to is important enough to deal with their shit.

My only experience with this is the bootloader is just as locked down as the OS. It’s been a while, but I’d sooner buy a x86 netbook instead.
