I was an early adopter of T9 typing on my Nokia back in the day. When I finally got a smartphone, I found a keyboard app that had T9 as an option and used that. When Swype first came out, I couldn’t believe that another typing system could actually beat the speed and ease of T9 typing.
I’ve always preferred to type in full words and sentences, and I’m a good speller, so most of the reasons other people don’t like swipe typing don’t apply to me.
Implementing changes on announcement (or lack thereof), with no warning or transition period, is entirely Elon-esque as well.
Reddit’s Contributor Program could earn you real money for your Reddit karma [Android Authority]. This mirror’s Twitter’s experiment to pay select top contributors [Washington Post].
This would just accelerate Reddit’s plunge into “bots upvoting karma farming repost bots”.
Reddit not announcing the replacement for awards/coins yet totally makes sense if it will be something like this or crypto related, though they’re just uselessly kicking the backlash can down the road.
r/place brings all the bots to the yard.
