Nice try, Mr. Huffman.

I used Napster and Limewire at that time, I believe. But like other commenters have said - 20 bucks in 1999 is the equivalent to $36 or so today. And we did that without being able to pre-listen.

I actually threw Metallica’s St. Anger out the window on the drive home from the record store I was so upset. I’d had a horrible day and everything kept going wrong, even small things. I drove 45 minutes North to the nearest record store, had to walk back out to my car for change (I didn’t have enough cash) and after the first few songs I started to get this pit in my stomach and I just fucking lost it. Rolled the window down at 65mph and threw that thing as hard as I could. And we had very little money at the time. Good times…

Can someone explain this like I’m an idiot (because I am)? This sounds like at some point I’m going to need to create a new account because shit will get too….popular? Dafuq? I downloaded Voyager, spent a bajillion hours looking for communities to add to my feed because fuck Reddit, and this conversation is scaring/confusing the shit out of me.

Thanks

I left Reddit after 15 years active. Refuse to go back. Is there any way to see if traffic over there has dropped? I’m still trying to figure this Lemmy thing out, is there a way to just see the most popular communities in a list I can just join? I’m manually searching for communities and randomly joining. Thanks!
