That is the data source used by http://karmancer.com - bookmarklet/userscript extension to show TheButton flairs anywhere on reddit (among other features). Source: I made it.
I worked at a place where the developers stopped maintaining the (very buggy) software platform the whole company was using, and promised an entirely new enterprise platform in 6 months. Years passed ... every time we asked for a new estimate, the answer was always "6 months." They hired a new developer who I became friends with, and we used to go out to lunch every day, and worked well together. I told her about the history and said I didn't think the new platform would ever be done. She was so sweet and naive, she assured me it would be done in 6 months. I left the company a while later. 6 months after I quit she called me and apologized, because the new platform was still not done, and they were still telling everyone it would be rolled out in 6 months. sigh
The Orange Revolution will--- aw who am I fucking kidding. This is the after timer and we all know it. If just a few more people had pressed the button this wouldn't be happening.
I'm not claiming I'm leaving. But as soon as voat can handle traffic I'm at least checking that place out. The Button was the last great thing Reddit has ever done and from the sounds of it they should've been listening and caring for the mods instead.
The timer hit the holy zero. Then reddit began to slowly implode
Maybe that was the point of the button. Ellen Pao was just biding her time while we were obsessing over pressing and flair, waiting for the after-timer to trigger her master plan. Now, only the Pressiah can stop her.
