There are people who are pathologically contrarian. I’ve had to end a friendship over it—the endless need to say something negative about literally everything that ever happens and an unwillingness to be charitable to others.
In the mid-early days of reddit, upvote/downvotes were noticed as a method to hide the algorithm that was used to promote to the front page.
If you can see the exact counts, you can game the system. So the system threw fake up/downvotes into the mix to make it harder to reverse engineer. This could be something similar.
Nope. Someone absolutely downvoted him. Because, just like Reddit, the downvote button here is the ‘wow fuck that guy for saying a thing i don’t like’ button.
I have the theory that archive.is, waybackmachine and 12ft.io are no secret anymore, and that just posting “paywalled” comes across as too lazy to copy/paste or (a lot easier) to use this addon to reduce the work to a click. i dont mind, but i can understand why others might see it that way
sheesh, you are quite aggressive, i did not want to offend. and as i said, i don’t mind it, i even posted the archivelink, for which you thanked me. check your target before firing, mate :-)
(also, theres always firefox mobile. can apple users use it with addons/firefox browser engine now? i don’t follow apple development actively)
On a different subject, why would someone downvote a one-word comment that accurately describes what the content is behind?

Reddit 1.3 is just like that.
Doesn’t answer my question though.

Blaming the victim, and justifying paywalls.
My phone browser doesn’t use add-ons.
And yet, you took the time out to reply, to chastise me for saying it.
