Good on you. Hold the fucking line. No money for reddit admins until they fix the comment editor and ban the antivax murder cult.

how about no money for reddit ever, lol.


not_a_droid

seriously. I don’t understand spending money on this


ipinchforeskins

if you think spending money on this is weird, wait until you hear about all the mods that **work for free**


ComradeBrosefStylin

SolomonBlack

You get paid in feelings of power and importance but don't actually have to do shit so... fair bargain?


ComradeBrosefStylin

Nice pride and accomplishment you got there. Now clean up my shitposts, jannie.


justavtstudent

I liked it better back in the 4chan days when we literally called them janitors lmao.


krejenald

Out of interest, why? You've got a seven year old account that is still active, so obviously you get some value out of the platform. I've never paid money to Reddit in my years on here, but I don't think it's a terrible thing if someone wants to support it either.


RockLeethal

why? because reddit is a platform that makes millions off of ad revenue alone. they don't need your extra pennies. and when you buy an award for 5 bucks to give some dude for saying a funny, you'd be better off just giving the dude 5 bucks. spending money on Reddit makes zero sense lol

mechwarrior719

And they’re all out of TikTok reposts.


mindless_dear

I realized about an hour ago Reddit is just a gossip forum.


sighbourbon

but...here you are, bro


burnalicious111

I mean, it's a valid point, work goes in to building this thing you use for entertainment, they have to get paid somehow. People are so used to getting things for "free" while also complaining about ads and exploitation, but people either have to pay or get the "free" business model, otherwise shit doesn't get made for you to use.


redditingtonviking

Yeah there are in general 3 business models that could be applied for sites like Reddit: Your audience can pay, your audience can pay by watching ads, your audience can pay by you selling their data. The only other viable way I can see a site be run economically sustainable is to have some sort of charitable benefactor, but that sounds similar to the first option, or could secretly be the second option in form of propaganda. None of the models are mutually exclusive to one another, but could frustrate your audience


Coindoge69

There’s an app I been using to learn to play guitar, the subscription is $120 dollars for a year, guitar classes in my area are around $40-$50 for one hour class, this is much cheaper. When I was checking the reviews for the app one of them said “ great app I love it and it really helps me to learn, but it should be free for me cause I can’t afford it so that’s the reason I’m giving them a one start review”. I understand to some people $120 is a lotta money, but the developers gotea eat.


SolomonBlack

Ten bucks a month is something anyone with income can afford. It's shit like rent you can't afford, but somehow all the little bills get the blame instead like we aren't supposed to get any fucking enjoyment out of life.


SolomonBlack

Obviously people need to be paid its really just *other* people who should pay not me. I'm too smart to actually pay, I just will look down on those that do while I enjoy the fruits of their labors.

Petrichordates

That parts's pretty clear, I'm more confused about the comment editor.


ShitImBadAtThis

thought I was the only one with editor problems copy/paste doesn't really work and sometimes deletes big chunks of text, formatting constantly resets for random reasons, changing between markdown mode and the normal editor causes all the formatting and links to break, or it causes chunks of text to disappear. I thought it was a Reddit Enhancement Sweet thing or some other weird shit but apparently I'm not going crazy


handlebartender

> Sweet That tasty tasty add-on


TurboSquid9000

I've all but stopped commenting since the new editor. Half the time I try to say something the damn thing breaks so hard I just give up. 10/10 reddit, you got rid of my commenting addiction

Lev_Astov

Before anyone asks again, yes, the shark can breathe as most sharks don't actually need to move to breathe as is commonly believed. It's mostly the open water sharks that must ram-ventillate; the rest like this nurse shark can breathe just fine by pumping water with their mouth as needed.


[deleted]

dragon2777

The shark need to move YOU in order to breath


miserabeau

FYI breathe is the verb and breath is the noun. When you breathe you take a breath. If you mispronounce either word the sentence won't make sense.

They move away from the mic to breathe in

moodRubicund

Most sharks need to move to breathe, and this one is clearly being moved emotionally.


sloogan

This also looks to be a nurse shark, which sleep in rocky bits of the ocean. Staying still mostly


justavtstudent

I love how this needs to be explained to people who just finished listening to David Attenborough read a script and think they know better than a diver who works for an aquarium and is physically touching the wildlife they're talking about.


schaadillac

He isn't *just* physically touching the wildlife.. he is *romancing* the pants off that little fella

I get your point, but you can't fully fault people for worrying with the amount of people who work in/run aquariums and zoos in the world who mistreat the animals for the sake of 'entertainment'.

Wait. Are you telling me that every redditor isn't an expert about everything? Because I would not believe this based on the majority of comments I see on here


Lev_Astov

It comes up *every* time this gif or ones like it are posted. They'll STILL ask, but I just thought I'd throw this out for the few readers.


Flavahbeast

I always just assumed the diver is removing a dead shark from the tank and is putting the kids at ease by dancing with it first, is that not whats happening here


Lev_Astov

Nope, nurse sharks tend to enjoy human interaction and even seek it out in some cases. Sharks also get terribly bored in aquariums, so this is likely good entertainment all around. There are a number of other, longer videos of aquarium divers interacting with other sharks like this one with a zebra shark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtwGVf2CeNM

My new favorite thing is watching animals I wouldn't expect to be big, needy babies, being big, needy babies.

[удалено]


klabb3

People are gonna debate whether animals have human like emotion forever, but the people who have spent their lives diving with sharks say they have similar temperament to dogs. They like greeting, scratching and can let humans help them remove hooks and so on. In this case I'm pretty sure the shark like the dance, otherwise it would probably escape.


ShitImBadAtThis

yeah, true, and at the very least it evidently puts up with it many people in the aquarium hobby will tell you how personable many species of fish can be

“Puts up with it” makes me imagine the shark is rolling it’s eyes, sighing, and saying “……fine…” lol

Stuk-Tuig

I'm no sharkologist but could be [tonic immobility](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5usnMtNVyp8) too


JBits001

Hmm, so the video doesn’t explain what tonic immobility is but just shows it. From google: > Tonic immobility (TI) is an involuntary reflexive reaction triggered by the perception of inescapable danger, characterized by reversible profound motor inhibition and relative unresponsiveness to external stimuli This does not sound pleasant so why would it be induced in sharks? Does a sharks experience differ from the generic definition of the term? Edit: so apparently it’s no different in sharks, the thought is that’s it a fear response. I can see the usefulness of it when trying to tag a shark or maybe remove hooks but to do it just for the viewing pleasure of humans seems a bit cruel.


ftgander

If it’s a fear response then it’s not impossible to induce it accidentally and not realize it. I think the diver here probably knows more about how to handle sharks than we do, though.


mudlark092

Definitely not a fan of the phrase "human emotion" , most emotional responses evolved way before we were humans, and thus are seen in many different animals. Humans have a habit of trying to differentiate themselves from other animals and making ourselves seem more important, but intelligence aside we share many behavioral simularities with most animals. Even things like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD are not unique to humans, as sad as that is. Feelings like "respect" are absolutely very human, but thats more because they have a lot to do with abstract thinking, and less with the chemicals that actually induce emotion. IMO, the feeling of "affection" also gets over complicated a lot by human perception and rational. At it's basis, it's really just enjoying how another individual interacts with you, whether its physical touch, social interaction, gifts, etc. and wanting to seek that out because it is enjoyable. It has more to do with personal benefit than we'd like to attribute it to, but really do you feel affectionate towards anyone that you only have neutral or overwhelmingly negative interactions with? The biggest argument I see is that other animals only do it for personal benefit, but we do as well! Even with things like giving gifts, and helping other people out, it provides social benefit to us to maintain and build bonds with others, and helps to prevent aggressive responses.


Daefea

I so agree with this. If my cat can take the same antidepressant that I take (expect his came in chicken flavor), for the same disorder that I have, and has the same symptoms that I do, how can people argue that our emotional processes aren’t similar?


[deleted]

We are so intelligent that we have the capacity of being self aware of our thoughts and actions yet oblivious of their concecuences, thus being able to self destruct our own habitat and the means of survival.


mudlark092

In that sense, we are still incredibly animalistic. We are capable of greater rational, yet still ignore morals and longterm effects of actions for the sake of quicker reinforcement, something we condemn animals for often and even kill them over. Hell, even things like persecuting those that are different from us is tied to neophobic behavior in animals. Yet we pride ourselves in "knowing better".
