Cool display!

So to get it down to 100 years you'd need 160^2 = 25,600 geothermal plants.
Perfectly reasonable, let's do it.
It was exactly what you want, a much lower priced subscription which just removed ads, and didn't include any other premium features. I happily paid for it.
It was discontinued this month.
We'll likely be running on prem as long as is reasonable without support, and then moving to an alternative - maybe gitlab. Atlassian lost our business with this move.
Ruthless.
Unfortunately, unlike when we had Reddit already growing when the Digg exodus happened, there doesn't seem to be any pre-grown option this time around.
The only way to really "win" here is to abandon the platform en masse, and delete all your content before you walk out the door.
Other social media platforms are largely about the individual, the personality. The content, while present, seems to be secondary. Influencers run amok and are an advertisers wet dream.
Squabbles, self-admittedly [0], tries to combine these approaches.
When I look at their home page, as well as a few communities, the only thing that really stands out on each post is the "title bar" with someone's name and a follow link. There's no quick way to see what the content is about (unless it's an image), without actually diving into the meat of the content. I can't make a quick judgement call of whether I want to read the content or not, unless I base it on the person's name.
For some, that may be great. For me, it misses the mark and falls too far on the Twitter side of the hybrid approach.
If people find it a useful format, then I hope the site thrives. But I don't think it's the right fit for the niche that made reddit great.
The bigger effect maybe is that prepares you mentally for the impact, so you're already planning your next steps and aren't in quite as much surpise/panic as if you had no warning.
When things are collapsing, seconds can be the difference between life and death. Even if a system like this only saves a few extra percent of lives lost in a major earthquake, it sounds worth it to me.

We used to be an internet backwater, lagging behind Australia and far behind Europe/USA, but in the last 10 years we've really leapt into the 21st century.

TL;DR: For now you need to use beta/aurora/nightly releases of firefox to enable 1080p/4K youtube with the HTML5 player.
But real life politik trumps video games, so that can't happen for now. Instead, the game is licenced to a Chinese company who runs their own instance for Chinese players so they can at least play the game - even if it's not with the rest of the world.
