Text scaling (not just zoom in/out), dark/light theme, jump to top/bottom buttons (only relevant for phones without Home/End key anyway), table sorting by column should be built-in browser features, not implemented by webmasters using JavaScript.

Because it was tailoring replies to people's post histories and demographic information (age, sex, race, religion, etc). Reported in a lot of places because it was considered unethical and done without Reddit users' consent. npub14ucc68tskypg0fs0yhz33kptxms0xfc8en72fnccjs78gajqhfkqw57ldr scuti🌱 @nprofile…rjk0 @nprofile…cext Anyone feeding data to an algorithm is going to be easily persuaded by an AI (the r/changemyview experiment).

Basically moved by $60 in a single downward movement.
