Not exactly what you're asking for, but Subnautica slowly builds on a primal fear without resorting to jump scares. It's increasingly unsettling and you start finding excuses to just stay in your habitat to decorate instead of going outside. Possibly the best horror game I've played.

Life is strange has elements of it (think Butterfly Effect: the game) during parts of the game, although it gets pretty explicit rather than subtle.

Oxenfree also has elements of it, with people behaving weirdly etc. But it also mostly gets fairly explicit. Still, no jumpscares.

You know what? I don't care and I stopped reading this article after one paragraph because I found that I couldn't be bothered to go on. During the reddit exodus I was pissed off about how they would ruin something good, but I've long since lost interest in what happens on that site. Honestly I was a tiny bit surprised that it still exists. Like who the heck goes there still?

I'm 98% sure you can still log in again, it just invalidates the access token that Reddit has received from Google. The effect is that when you log in next time you end up at Google's authorization screen where you have to explicitly give Reddit access again.

I suspect the user content is the root of the problem. 500 hours of video is being uploaded every minute. YouTube has to transcode and store everything, and be ready to stream it at a moment's notice, even though the vast majority of videos probably get only a handful of views (if any). That's a lot of unused resources that have to be paid for by subscribers and advertisers.

If they were to charge just a little for uploads then content creators would be more inclined to consider whether their upload is of interest to anyone else, and that might take away a lot of the waste.

Woah. I just cancelled my subscription last week because it's too expensive, and now they raise the prices further. Guess they really don't want me back.

In the security page on Google's account site there is a card with the title "Your connections to third-party apps & services". Go there, click "See all connections" and click Reddit. From here you can remove access for Reddit and/or delete all connections between your Google account and Reddit.

Narrator: They didn't like it here.

I don't know how these guys didn't get a Darwin award yet

"Punching down" is in the eye of the beholder, and kind of supports my point about having empathy in the way you speak. I guarantee that steel workers feel like they got the short end of the stick in life, and that feminist academia is the elite.
