  • I took it, no way I’d miss spending quality time with our newborn and be there for my wife.

    The employer has some heads up that it’s coming too, so they can adjust the workload for something that occurs maybe once or twice in an employee’s lifetime.

    But then I live in Quebec, Canada and the father can take 5 weeks and the mother can take a year. (The father can take more, but they’re swapped of the mother’s year).


  • For me it’s wasn’t just about the ads, but that the official app is terrible compared to the great third-party clients out there.

    Instead of shitting the bed and charging abusive API rates to the third-party apps developers, they could have just made the use of third-party apps require a Reddit Premium subscription at the end-user level. That way they’d have solved the inability to display ads to third-party users by making them pay, and third-party devs could have kept doing their thing without worrying about a hefty API bill.

    But instead they chose to be a bunch of dickwads and alienate the devs and give the middle fingers to their most loyal userbase. I left my 16 years old account dormant since.
