I see similar stats too, it really seems like old reddit has died off, I remember when the redesign was newer looking at these stats and old was dominating, so I'm inclined to trust them relatively.
We serve multi million MAU on sqlite orchestrated through durable objects. It's not the most complex thing in the world but it goes further than CRUD. It costs us such a small amount of money for what it does. Our PG cluster was orders of magnitude more expensive.
Our bandwidth is very high, we constantly get invited onto the call with their team, but after talking with them a few times it makes absolutely zero sense for us to have a committed spend, all the stuff I needed an account manager for in GCP/AWS just doesn't exist in CF. Support wise I imagine if it's broken for us it's also broken for 2 million other people so... yeah... Thanks CF!
Just a stab in the dark, but it's likely because FB and meta are wildly successful businesses, and it's almost impossible to attribute that to one "lucky" event at the inception of the business.
If I'm being honest I'm actually kind of shocked at the engagement this comment is getting and the fact it's still visible. Like him or not, if you're capable of being objective, he is doing the opposite of failing...
A lot of what they are doing now is around AI comments and posts, I know this because in some of my subreddits I have various automod filters that align with the way AI writes, I see it all the time where my automod removes something and reddit removes it again after (some kind of race condition), as well as tons of these accounts getting site wide bans.
In case you didn't realise, a massive portion of content on reddit now is LLMs.
I'm not a massive fan of how reddit has played certain hands in the last 5 years or so, but I do hope they win the war on dead internet theory.
I disagree. Demand for pirated games is still huge, so I don’t think the lack of hacks is just down to lack of interest. Everything points to these protections getting stronger over time. Denuvo, hypervisor-based security, and the recent Xbox hacks all suggest the same thing: bypasses still happen, but they’re becoming harder, slower, and more specialised. I’m not saying future systems will be impossible to crack, but the trend seems to be that beating them is getting harder, not easier.
The amount of crime in the world -that requires arguably "low skill" time to resolve- that just gets filed away because of low resources is insane. How are forces going to stand up high skill task forces for these kinds of things?
