  • Hot tip for anyone looking to save a little money and have an ad free experience on Kindle.

    I bought the Kindle with ads, saved like, $30 I think? Anyway, if you buy a Kindle with ads, set it all up and use it for a bit, contact Amazon support and say how you didn’t realize that it came with ads and that the ads are very intrusive or some other BS like that. They’ll tell you that you can pay a one time fee (once again, I think it was $30) to remove them. Just say something about how that’s awfully expensive , and keep saying how much you really love the device, but you think you’re going to return it because of the ads. The second you say you’d like to start the return process, they’ll panic and just say that, “good news, we’ve decided to remove the ads for you for free”.

    Obviously being nice and not an asshole is the way to go. Actually just don’t be an asshole to any support person. They don’t get paid enough to get treated like shit.

    Disclaimer: this was like 5 years ago.




  • Thank you so much u/talklittle for 10+ years of enjoyment. The thing that stood out about rif was how clean and information dense the list view was. It reminded me of old.reddit where you’re looking at a list of posts instead of constantly scrolling like the newer reddit card design. Makes me feel slightly more sane about staring at my phone.

    Very excited to see where your future takes you. reddit was always going to fail. Every site or social media network will eventually fail. In its place will fall something else. As ridiculous as your experience has been, perhaps this is for the best.
