      Everything is falling down:

      • Google is dropping Reddit and Twitter from their searches.
      • Twitter is throttling Tweets and you have to signin to view anything. Which would be crazy antivaxxer radicals, so not missing anything. No more free API use.
      • YouTube is blocking you after 3 videos if you use an adblocker.
      • Reddit has killed all 3rd party apps among API changes
      • Now Gfycat is going, man that’s like most of the sites I used since a kid. Imgur seems to be around still at least.

        Imgur doesn’t even load for me on Firefox Mobile + uBlockOrigin. It also tries to redirect me to their broken front end if I just want the .jpg file. I absolutely hate them and wish people would stop using it.
