Anyone who starts off telling you that they're the most popular and trusted should probably not, in fact, be trusted. Especially if they're calling for not using password managers. Passkeys are interesting in theory, but my understanding is that most of the implementations are just another way for big tech to track you.

As another poster detailed, this is not a company that exposed your info: these credentials are all from stealer logs, which are logs of credentials stolen by keyloggers installed on machines. If your credentials were in this report, it means that you've entered that username and password on a machine with malware on it. Could be your personal machine, or it could be some other computer you've used.
I don't think this is a case of trying to make more money.
Sure it is: the only reason for DRM is to make more money.
What we're seeing with Reddit is just the first stage of enshittification: making things worse for the end users who have been captured by network effect and what used to be a good service, in order to benefit advertisers. The second stage is making things shitty for the advertisers who have been captured by all the captive users. Paid subs are probably a harbinger of that kind of thing, but I don't think advertisers are locked in enough to be really stuck yet.
My guess is that's the point. D&D Beyond, for example, seems to make it purposely confusing. My guess is that this is an attempt to make playing with the 2014 rules that much harder, so that people spend more money.
Refreshingly, that includes multinational firms: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/04/asia/deepfake-cfo-scam-hong-kong-intl-hnk/index.html
Why would anything socially progressive organize on Facebook? Most normal people I know have abandoned that platform, let alone anyone privacy-minded or anti-oligarch.
That you'd be a bad teammate: the kind of person who puts personal preference above what the group has decided and causes problems for no good reason; the kind of person who would insist on indenting with spaces when the whole team has decided to use tabs.
Interesting; I'm running Ublock and it didn't hide it for me. Maybe mobile vs desktop? Thanks for the archive link!
Edit: super weird, the subscription pop-up still shows up on the archive site.
The problem is that it really has to be addressed at the national level. Otherwise, places with better social services and less extreme weather (like the big cities on the west coast) get overwhelmed by more transient homeless than their systems can handle--and that's even without Texas or whoever shipping busloads more in..
