    I’d exchange Reddit and X. The rate at which X is going downhill right now just cannot be beaten by anything.

      Yeah the thing that people are upset about reddit for with rate limited apps is something twitter did years ago. Then theres the everything else involved on twitter and its not even close.

    I feel like it’s unfair to include TikTok as it had a clear headstart by being a dumpster fire since the very start.

    Yeah i also completely forgot Unity. This “Worst Dumpster Fire” ladder only had 3 spots.

    There’s metagame factors to this.

    Reddit users often hate Reddit but feel stuck in it without alternatives that they can accept.

    Twitter (it’s not X, fuck that silly aging “peaked in the XTREME 90s” divorce dad nonsense, I hope he cries more about it billionaire-tears ) has lost a lot of users and the ones that are left are devoted cultists that pay money for relevance symbols on their accounts. blue-check farquaad-point

    TikTok has people that are hooked on the algorithm to the point that they may not bother even participating in any such survey because it isn’t on TikTok.

    Does this reflect how the platform is actually doing or do we just like the circlejerk of wishing they would fail? Because everything I’ve seen says Reddit has been completely unaffected by the changes made and they’re still getting more user signups, engagements and interaction/posts than ever.

    Tik Tok also seems to be growing strong.

    Twitter is a genuine laughing stalk and is pulling major shit…but everyone still seems to be using it regularly.

    I feel like unity is the most likely to die. Their users are way more likely to switch to an alternative than people using reddit

    Unity alternatives are also way more known than reddit or twitter alternatives

      But the alternatives aren’t as developed. Godot still isn’t great for 3D projects and Unreal is Epic and also has royalty fees like Unity tried to add.

        Unreal only has a 5% fee on games that made over 1 million USD

        Unity wanted to add a 0.20 USD tax for every download after you made 200K USD 200K users(which changes depending on how many downloads your game has and which plan you are using)

        Units pricing method could have been easily exploited, game developers would have to pay for people pirating their games, if a free to play game reached those requirments, it could cost them more than the game made, giveaways would cost game developers money and all unity games would have to collect data

      It’s a Dictatorship’s Military Operation. The app’s software is more data theft than it is actually used to run the app. They take everything stored on your device, from photos to text history. All of it. If I were to rate all apps on the basis of harm, Tiktok is miles above anything else.

    As bad as any profit first corporation is, or even agenda first profit second corporations, there will never be anything more cringe than helping a hostile foreign dictatorship for vines with music.

      China isn’t hostile, afaik only the US has been hostile. And claiming that tiktok did that is equivalent to saying random American company is responsible for bombing Iraq

      Well, Tiktok demotes china critical accounts and promotes china friendly ones, people who tried it came to the conclusion that’s it’s roughly by the factor 10 so they aren’t even hiding it!
