Yes, CPR is brutal and more often than not ineffective. That TV trope where someone gets a few compressions suddenly coughs and sits up all alive and healthy again is complete BS. Literally never happens.

My wife's a paramedic and in seven years has only seen someone spontaneously regain pulse after CPR twice - and that's with a team of highly trained professionals and a whole bunch of fancy equipment.

Still worth trying in many cases though, but it's certainly not a miracle procedure and not something that should automatically be done in every case.

we users aren't the priority.

You know what they say. If you're using a service for free, then you're not the customer, you're the product. They don't care about what we think in the same way a farmer doesn't care about the opinions of his cows. It's just never really been this glaringly obvious before.

I saw the same. I was just about tempted to slide back and browse quickly on my lunch break, then I saw that and just noped out of there. This place is building up quickly and strongly enough that I probably won't bother going back to reddit if he's going to keep up with this nonsense; I don't really need that sort of BS negativity.

Visually, I actually quite like the look of the redesign (on desktop at least; mobile's a whole other story). But it's so bloated that on my old laptop I could get maybe 10-15 minutes of browsing time before it used up all my ram and dragged my whole computer to a crawl. And it has a whole mess of bugs that make it almost unusable - it feels like someone's CS project rather than the front end of one of the largest sites on the web.
