So ironic that he talks about getting something for free when literally all the content is also provided to Reddit for free.

We use our Instant Pot at least weekly. My wife uses it all the time to cook chicken to use in other recipes. Or to make baked potatoes, or even to make homemade Mac and cheese (cook the pasta super fast and then use the sauce setting to mix in cheese, etc).

I really liked it as well. Check out the prequel series, A Book of Dust. It’s really good as well.

Great commercial, by the way (filmed by Spike Jonze). I think the actual words are “why do you feel bad for this lamp, it has no feelings, you’re crazy!”

I do. I’ve gotten so much value out of it. I ended up deleting my account and comments to give as much teeth to all of this as I can, and while I realize there’s not a lot of value for me personally in my history, it does make me sad for the knowledge lost. I think it’s necessary for Reddit to feel enough pain to change course (if they will at all) but it still makes me sad.

Agree. I ended up deleting my 11+ year old account. I was holding out that they’d reverse course but I felt like they also need to see some users leaving as well.
