Well good morning, your almost on UK time XD
i did a thing, for reasons.
already said basically all of this here at some point or another, but still.
My Reddit post got āgildedā Apperently, whatever reddit gold is supposed to be lol.
iirc it gives you access to some āpremiumā features but only for a limited time. like no ads, themes, etc.
https://old.reddit.com/gold/about
But I just use Reddit Enhancement Suite in Firefox and uBlock.
The new reddit design is terrible and RES fixes that and a lot of other stuff (like not having to click on a thread to see images, text, etc., it just folds out and in with a button. And I can resize images and gifs by dragging them.
Example:
lmfao
amd removed me as mod on the AMD discordā¦ but i still have editor access on the AMD twitch which arguably is much more important ā¦ but whatever.
i am not even mad.
also.
still no comms from AMD despite making above post on reddit. ā¦ gif related.
oh AMD when will you learnā¦ oh wait.
But on the plus side
lol
now Iāve cut all ties to hardware vendors that werenāt exactly legit, so if for some reason i decide to do youtube and such no strangeness there
overall 10/10 pure keks.
Someoneās butthurt?
they a) didnāt tell me they were removing me and b) then removed me
sounds fairly butthurt to me, from what was a non-ranting post for the most part lol. a few ranty bits here and there but stillā¦
it has however gotten like 2k views since i posted it at 1am so thereās that though.
still. is whatever
to give an idea of what i mean though; someone who did a nazi salute on stream only got banned from the stream team, and is still a mod on discord. wat.
Are the same people who are overseeing the stream team also in charge of the discord?
yep.
Then thereās something more going on than just missing communication between people.
yes indeed. but itās how AMD is
do something to piss them off? they will just remove you or if you have a ton of followers bend over backwards to please you.
nothing inbetween.
or just ignore the teams they specifically made to do things, lol.
makes team for doing things
ignores it, doesnt promote it to the point where it is negatively affecting the companies PR
kills program instead of fixing it
tbh, I never cared much for the effort companies make to bridge the gap between the company and the ācommunityā. be it corsair with gloriousgeorge on reddit or amd. in the end its purpose is to get more people to buy their stuff. Iām generally wary of companies trying to be ābuddiesā with their target demographic.
i find the corsair ones amusing. NZXT as well to an extent. thatās about it though.
Nvidia occasionally does cool things but meh?
in any case Iāve learned not to work for free from all this crap lol. The only time Iāll work free is if I own the business, in that case itās only sortof free
otherwise thereās all kinds of questionable things going on and whatnot. Almost always.
What happens to the stuff amd sends the red team plus people after they stop associating with them?
i mean technically i could share all my stuff i was sent lol
also technically is under NDAā¦ ish
team was disbanded so i think the NDA is null?
i think? or itās done in 2020 if it isnāt null so meh
for example i have the full press kits of ryzen 7 and ryzen 5 because they are the only ones we were sent. and some other infos that may or may not be public, lol.
but i donāt care too much one way or the other about that so
The long-term binding is annoying.
yah, though it technically is null nowā¦ still.
itās not like they could do anything though anyway because nothing is stamped lolā¦
if i was an ass, i would just release everything I could release and it may or may not light a fire under AMD, lol. or it might just get them angry, idk. doesnāt seem like a useful thing to do though. I do know certain things that I wont share though unless in person or whatever. plausible deniability and all that.
in unrelated news; van transmission is shot apperently. will probably just buy a beater of a car or something decent from a place if i trade in the van, not sure. Either way will figure something out. in the meantime will see.
also possibly going to see a blacksmith my dad knows tomorrow at a fair, could be cool the guy does classes and things. Though he apparently already has an apprentice but in any case will be interesting.
Still, Iād be cautious.
Get a gokart!
