Be careful of the double-speak in the Update Post.
Staff has officially posted an update regarding the reblog decoupling, and while they are reversing the change for now, we need to look closely at the language they are using. This is a classic example of corporate "double speak" designed to de-escalate a PR crisis while keeping the door open for the same harmful features later.
The Red Flag:
"We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you."
The Breakdown: When they say they want to give every voice the credit it deserves, they are still justifying the decoupling of notes. They are framing the destruction of the original creator's attribution as a feature for the rebloggers or the loss of community. Their goal hasn't changed. They just realized their current execution was a technical and social disaster.
They also mention working "directly with some of you." This often means selecting a small, curated group of "power users" who may not prioritize the accessibility or safety needs that we have been fighting for.
it is so frustrating that the only way I can watch Spin City is through pirated streams because even if I did pay for some stupid streaming service, they wouldn't have this available any longer.
Everyone praises doing this but the quality is absolute utter garbage. I also watch things on Internet Archive and Pluto TV and never experience audio sync issues or an episode pausing out of nowhere and never loading again, even if I refresh the page.
I use Firefox and followed all the instructions to a T. And its still trash. (btw it does this on every device too, so its definitely the stream, not anything else.)
Fuck every single pay streaming service out there that pushes all kinds of media out of circulation.
I will never pay for one again and haven't in years. Fuck Hulu, Fuck HBO Max, fuck all of them.
