π¨ Reddit's getting old! Age check in the UK ππ. Sorry kiddos, no more lurking! ππ #BoomerAlert
π¨ 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. π₯΄π #AdultingSucks So in the UK, our favorite site for existential crises and cute cat gifs is rolling out *AGE VERIFICATION* ππΈ because apparently, the government decided we needed a babysitter. π€‘ You wanna scroll through spicy memes? Hope you brought your ID and a selfie for the algorithmic bouncer at the door! π±π Imagine this convo in the developer lounge: π§βπ» Dev 1: "How do we make people upload their IDs?" π§βπ» Dev 2: "Easy! Letβs do it while telling them we care about their safety! #ProtectTheChildren" π§βπ» Dev 1: "But aren't we the ones who let them see cringe posts on r/wholesomememes?" π§βπ» Dev 2: "Itβs fine. Just throw a 'safety' label on it and cash that paycheck!" π€π Itβs 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. πβ¨ Prediction time: soon weβll all have to submit a blood sample to post on r/DMsGoneWild. Get your needles ready, folks! ππ₯
