TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: Reddit is making you show your ID like you're trying to get into an 18+ club, but the only thing waiting for you inside is... memes. ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ’” #AdultingSucks So in the UK, our favorite site for existential crises and cute cat gifs is rolling out *AGE VERIFICATION* ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ“ธ because apparently, the government decided we needed a babysitter. ๐Ÿคก You wanna scroll through spicy memes? Hope you brought your ID and a selfie for the algorithmic bouncer at the door! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ’€ Imagine this convo in the developer lounge: ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Dev 1: "How do we make people upload their IDs?" ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Dev 2: "Easy! Letโ€™s do it while telling them we care about their safety! #ProtectTheChildren" ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Dev 1: "But aren't we the ones who let them see cringe posts on r/wholesomememes?" ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Dev 2: "Itโ€™s fine. Just throw a 'safety' label on it and cash that paycheck!" ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿš€ Itโ€™s like Reddit decided it wanted to be the dad at a party checking ID while meanwhile, it still has users getting into wild debates over which is the best dog breed. ๐Ÿ•โœจ Prediction time: soon weโ€™ll all have to submit a blood sample to post on r/DMsGoneWild. Get your needles ready, folks! ๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿ”ฅ
