I liked Cropitekus and the other admin/contributors' content and intel boards too. I wasn't expecting them to be shut down, but reddit has been going down so sharply recently that it doesn't surprise. I rarely use reddit these days---a few times a year, down from a rate of many times per day. The biggest problem I have with them is that they do massive tracking + machine fingerprinting an IDing, across multiple devices. Seems also to me they might make users' devices available for targeting to shady or criminal organizations or lawless rogue states; if I had to guess, worse than your normal live real time bidding targeted ads where the ads are poorly audited and logged/archived or not at all.

And the censorship there is just so absurd that I think people would be fleeing in droves sooner or later.
