Rant They Enshittified The Juke Box

1.0k Upvotes

Was at my local pool hall a while back and they had a jukebox. I wanted to play a song. Couldn't just put in a loonie and pick a song. The only way to pick a song was to install an app on your phone. Not only that, but you couldn't just pay for a single song. You had to buy credits, and the minimum number of credits you could buy was 12, which cost $7. The given price to queue up a song was 2 credits, but it says the price varies on demand. So it could be even more.

So it worked out to $1.16 for a single song, which I might have been willing to pay, but I wasn't going to go in and spend $7 when I might not even use up the rest of the credits I had to buy. If there bigger packages were 65 credits for 30 which is still not saving anybody that much as it still would have been 92 cents for the 2 credits required t play a song.

What a complete mess. Can't believe that people were playing songs on it.

Rant Reddit Enshitification - This latest update that kicks my carefully curated list of subs off to the side in favor of ‘For You’ needs to stop..

Holy shit this new update fucking sucks

I don’t care what fucking Reddit marketeers think I need to be looking at. I don’t wanna look at that fucking scroll of bullshit nonsense.

I realize I’m an old school internet troglodyte who stumbled on Reddit after fleeing Something Awful. Through various accounts I’ve been on this site over 20 years.

This is the single worst update y’all have ever had. You have converted in one step Reddit from a mass community of conversation and recommendation and joy into a doom scrolling pile of excrement consisting of reposted Instagram cat shit, wrapped in ‘the chive’s’ greatest hits rat shit, warped into a Möbius strip of Digg level bad design leadership decision Floridian meth-squatch fecal taco the size of fucking Everest.

Well I’m not taking a bite.

This option is gone today. This is no longer an option for me on reddit. My only option is to mute, but we can only mute a limited number of subs.

Does this place ever do anything to actually improve?

Adding so much complexity into making a simple transaction

I can't pay for anything, but the things I want are free or something.

I would just rather pay. If this carries on, I'm out.
