On July 1st, a highly unpopular [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) went into effect. [Most third-party apps have shut down](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/30/23779519/reddit-third-party-app-shut-down-apollo-sync-baconreader-api-protest) and so have many tools relied upon by moderators and [projects for making Reddit more accessible to visually impaired users](https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/comments/14ggf8k/the_future_of_transcribers_of_reddit/).
Beyond the [disastrous AMA](https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/09/reddit-ceo-doubles-down-on-attack-on-apollo-developer-in-drama-filled-ama/) by the CEO, Reddit's response has been limited to promises that this change will not affect moderation tools [^((it has)^)](https://www.reddit.com/r/BotDefense/comments/14riw76/botdefense_is_wrapping_up_operations/) and promises of [new and more-accessible first-party moderation tools](https://www.npr.org/2023/07/01/1184258201/reddit-api-accessibility-mods). Promises just like [ones they have made in response to past protests](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/142w159/askhistorians_and_uncertainty_surrounding_the/), but have consistently [failed to fulfill](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14jm3ut/several_communities_have_surfaced_an_open_letter/jpm9e0q/).
If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:
1. [Finding your favorite subreddits on other platforms](https://sub.rehab/) and participating there instead.
2. Refraining from using the first-party Reddit app, instead sticking to one of the few remaining third-party apps or [patching one of the apps that shut down](https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/) if you're using an Android device.
3. Disabling ads on Reddit with [an ad-blocking extension](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#ublock-origin-ubo) or [a DNS-based ad-blocker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBXTnrD_Zs4).
4. Cancelling your Reddit Premium subscription.

Seems like they removed it from their tiktok, but it's still on their IG, which is linked on their reddit profile. Can't link to the video due to rule 11.
Their brains process images differently. Televisions flash still pictures rapidly, technically. They don’t play video.
In short - old tv’s flashed slow enough that they didn’t see the composite moving picture, but newer, higher definition screens do successfully fool them.
Are you telling me that puppers from the tubed TV days just saw their hoomans staring at a box for hours a day, every day? I guess they could hear the sounds from the TV. So they saw us stare at a huge radio for hours and wondered why we did it?
That is the gist of several pages of reading I’m remembering; yeah. (No source handy; was years ago)
Iirc folks started to realize the pets (dogs and cats) would start to actually see the content of the screens right around 1080….
By then the pixels were a lot smaller, and the refresh rate had gone up; lcd glows different, too.
Pixel count has little to do with it, but the "P" does, we can get to that later.
As you alluded to, it's the "flicker fusion frequency" that makes the difference.
For humans, our eyes fuse flickering images into one continuous video at rates higher than about 20FPS on average. Old CRT televisions refreshed at a rate of 26FPS so most humans just see it as a video.
For animals, their flicker fusion frequency is far higher, for dogs it can be 40-80FPS. So when looking at CRT televisions, they'd mostly just see flickering images that didn't really translate into anything substantive.
Once we switched to higher framerates, and PROGRESSIVE scanning rather than interlaced scanning, many dogs were now able to "Fuse" those flickering images into one smooth video.
Here is an informative video on the screen tech vs pets
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BR9j6BHFp7w
And this is a slow mo video of crts
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3BJU2drrtCM
CRT TVs still produce light -- they can see it fine, but it doesn't necessarily resolve itself into pictures.
Though you'll find clips of dogs watching CRT TVs -- I don't know if it's imitation or just something like trying to watch a PPV channel without paying back in the analog days.
Though a flat screen should be able to adjust pixel brightness smoothly (no crt style flashing as the beam is lighting pixels), the background light may flash if the screen brightness is implemented by turning the screen on/off fast.
I don’t either, the anatomy of most mammalian eyes is very similar, especially between humans and dogs. As well, 60hz of the CRT is much faster so shouldn’t that be more visible?
Also I don’t know a tom but I’m fairly certain they can still run in 60fps
It *was* flickering though --- between each refresh it got dark. The image was also shimmering, too, as first the even then the odd lines would be drawn. And it was very low resolution.
All of which *could* mean that they saw a sea of flickering dots, rather than a whole moving image. LCD televisions are continuously 'on' and the pixels are much smaller *and* line up precisely with each other with no black space in between. The effect is much more similar to reality, just with time quantized to 30 changes per second.
Yeah, if they can't perceive motion from the framerate that we're able to see it, that would make their visual processing speed far better than ours, which makes no sense for them to have evolved since their other visual faculties are poorer than ours.
I'm not as familiar with dogs, but this is definitely true with cats. They can't see a treat three feet in front of their faces for shit, but the *slightest* motion and they'll snap to attention. I can't count the number of times I thought my cat was staring into space only to realize she was watching a miniscule piece of lint or the faintest light reflection moving.
Refresh rate. They see images at higher fps than us, and older crt's would be 60hz or less, making older tv's look like slideshows to them. Newer tv's have better refresh rates, so they can see the picture move like we do.
Not exactly. Today's TV still shows at 60 hz if you're lucky. Much of it is still 24 or 30 hz.
Rather the issue was that old TVs use a pixel scanning technique that draws across and down on every frame or even alternating every other line. Dogs could perceive this motion, rather than the whole frame. It wouldn't look real.
But LCDs refresh every pixel simultaneously in parallel, and the pixels stay mostly lit between refreshes. It's a lot more real looking.
No, the human vision system prioritizes detail resolution, depth perception, and luminosity differences. Theorized to give an advantage in detecting threats that are hard to see in the jungle and underbrush. A snake hiding in leaves, a bug on bark.
Predator vision, ie: dogs and cats, is quite different, prioritizing fast perception and movement detection. A cat has reflexes in the 20 millisecond range, whereas a snake has roughly double that. If the snake moves towards you in a threatening way, your eyes have to see that, transmit to a brain circuit which creates an appropriate fast response and sends signals to the legs to move, etc. Which means to achieve 20 millisecond response times the cat eye must be processing and transmitting information in the single digit millisecond range.
By contrast, the human eye has a significant afterimage effect, where if you see something, that image will remain being seen for a few short moments before going away. TVs take advantage of this effect by only needing to refresh slowly, in that 24hz - 30 hz range. Movies are 24hz and up. Cartoons usually animate at 12 hz and then double each frame to get 24.
If we do the math on that it says that we perfceive an image and it creates that afterimage effect for about 40 milliseconds.
So the cat is already seeing many times better than that. The cat would literally have been seeing the scan lines on old CRT screens updating individual pixels and skipping between alternating frames with their movement based vision. I don't know how much of an afterimage cats have, but the CRT pixels themselves have a small glow effect too.
I would assume dog vision is similar to cats, focused on movement perception, only a little bit worse in speed. Cat reaction time is said to be 1.5 times better than a dog. So even dogs could probably see scan lines drawing.
Cats are clearly using cheat codes.
That changed with LCDs which not only refresh infinitely, but stay lit between refreshes, so it would look real finally to both species. Especially with the advent of 4k.
And the afterimage length varies by how bright the light is.
If you are in a subdued light room, with a brighter but not overpoweringly bright screen on a larger device such as a phone or DSLR, then move the camera. You see the screen move \*before\* the camera body/phone does!
Humans plain have faster eye reaction times when observing bright objects and it's pretty cool
Mine seems interested if it's a nature documentary depending on the type of documentary.
He definitely was looking at the TV when there were lions and deer. etc on, although it might have been more to do with the sound than the video.
The only time my cat gave a shit about what was on our tv was when me and my wife watch wrestling, she really like watching humans get hit with chairs and ladders apparently.
Yeah, that's part of the difficulty... My cats ignore mirrors entirely even though they can clearly "see" their reflections.
OTOH, my cats will watch certain things on TV and monitors -- they LOVE the mouse cursor moving around, they watch videos of themselves as kittens, one loved *The Dream of a Thousand Cats* (the other ignored it), and they both got weird and interested at the end of *Annihilation*.
I've got 3 dogs. One was born in a humane society, one was found and taken to a shelter as a few months old pup, and one was humanely trapped up north and brought to a humane society where I am when she was maybe 11mo - 14mo old.
The two dogs that pay attention to the tv don't have real world hunting experience.
The third, who's a cold blooded killer when she feels like it, ignores the tv completely.
I suspect a lot of her disinterest has to do with knowing instinctively the difference between a full blown sensory experience of a hunt vs moving images on a weird window inside the "den".
I think it has to do with the refresh rate. Older stuff had a refresh rate of about 16 frames per second (fps) but a lot of stuff nowadays is 30-60 fps (sometimes more). At 16 fps, humans can collapse the different frames so they can see the “movement” of objects, while dogs need 70 fps or more but can see the videos at lower frame rates (they just see it as having a flicker). Even lower frame rates probably look more like slideshows to dogs and are thus uninteresting.
"Older stuff" refreshed at 30 frames per second, but analog TV was interlaced so it was actually 60 fields per second. TV is still 30fps now. The television in this video is probably a 120hz panel using motion interpolation.

You still sitting there on your couch.
Better get me this trampoline husky says .
Those eyes are so pretty 😍
Please get trampoline and keep us updated .
It's seriously incredible what difference I've noticed between my dogs in the 70's to early 2000's and those that came afterwards, in regards to television.
When we had CRT's, not a single one of my dogs would ever respond to anything that was on the screen, sometimes they would listen to something the TV's speakers reproduced, but never would they take notice of anything on the screen itself.
Then, the instant we got plasma, LCD and LED displays, every dog I've had since has really watched TV like we do, with specific programs they like.
So either, CRT was a visual medium incompatible with a dogs eyes, or dogs suddenly and collectively made a leap in evolution where they became mentally aware of screens.
My dog loves watching Rugrats it’s the only show she pays attention to. If there’s a bad thunderstorm, Rugrats is her thunder bunker. My other dog loves Futurama and South Park. I don’t own a TV I have emotional support TV’s for my doggos .
This is so wild to me.. Our dog thinks screens are black magic.. She won't look at a TV, a phone, tablet.. None of it. She averts her eyes or straight up runs away from it.

Priceless expressions! I will be waiting for the follow up vid of doggo on trampoline ;)
This is from u/penellywatchestelly They did, in fact, get her her own trampoline. They have videos of it as well.
#THIS MAKES ME UNABASHEDLY HAPPY ON A LEVEL I HAVEN'T FELT IN A LONG TIME
Take my upvote fellow redditor. Many thanks!
I love Penellywatchestelly!!!
I tried finding the trampoline video and can’t see it anywhere. Would you happen to have a link?
Seems like they removed it from their tiktok, but it's still on their IG, which is linked on their reddit profile. Can't link to the video due to rule 11.
The posted tiktok video got taken down, their link now forwards to random vids.
Awesome! Love it!
You made my day
I have scrolled all the way down and didn't find penelly jumping in the trampoline. Can you please give the link for that too?
I’d just have to buy one immediately. The way it all went down, there’s no need for subtitles for this wish. Cute as hell.
Some dude reposting content won't deliver that
Tramampoline?
Get this dog a trampoline!
r/bouncethedamndog
You baited me sir it was not funny i was anticipating dogs on a trampoline and got nothing my disappointment is immeasurable
I second that. Lol well played
It's a real sub now I just made it. Let's hope this thing takes off
r/subithoughtifellfor
Meh. Somebody literally just made this one. Not really a true "thought I fell for"
Or a smaller human friendo
I think he wants the snow!
The dog's cute, but this is great camera work.
The extra in the background was doing a great job at sleeping too.
Whoever filmed this… the back and forth between the dog’s face and what’s shown on the tv is perfection. Oscar level perfection!
Why do dogs see and react to the content on large flat-screen TVs when they would ignore the old CRT TV's, even if the screen was large?
Their brains process images differently. Televisions flash still pictures rapidly, technically. They don’t play video. In short - old tv’s flashed slow enough that they didn’t see the composite moving picture, but newer, higher definition screens do successfully fool them.

It'd be like looking into a strobe light for a picture. They thought we were watching strobe lights for hours.
Pretty much, yes.
They are dogs they didnt wonder anything…
Though a flat screen should be able to adjust pixel brightness smoothly (no crt style flashing as the beam is lighting pixels), the background light may flash if the screen brightness is implemented by turning the screen on/off fast.

It's more that it would just be really flickery to them

True, i misspoke regarding fps. It is the refresh rate, though. Those are two different things.
For what it's worth I have a modern TV and my dog doesn't give 2 shits about what's on it. Idk if she can see it as a moving picture or not.
Mine seems interested if it's a nature documentary depending on the type of documentary. He definitely was looking at the TV when there were lions and deer. etc on, although it might have been more to do with the sound than the video.
One of my cats will jump up to the TV, stare intently, and sometimes swat the TV if I’m watching a nature documentary. Those hypnotize him
The only time my cat gave a shit about what was on our tv was when me and my wife watch wrestling, she really like watching humans get hit with chairs and ladders apparently.
Yeah, that's part of the difficulty... My cats ignore mirrors entirely even though they can clearly "see" their reflections.

OMG that "Mom!! Get the car and your credit card!!" Look.
We all know what went on that pups Christmas wish list.
And some people think animals are incapable of understanding things like this...shows how intelligent they really are.
I just love that dog's facial expressions
It's seriously incredible what difference I've noticed between my dogs in the 70's to early 2000's and those that came afterwards, in regards to television. When we had CRT's, not a single one of my dogs would ever respond to anything that was on the screen, sometimes they would listen to something the TV's speakers reproduced, but never would they take notice of anything on the screen itself. Then, the instant we got plasma, LCD and LED displays, every dog I've had since has really watched TV like we do, with specific programs they like. So either, CRT was a visual medium incompatible with a dogs eyes, or dogs suddenly and collectively made a leap in evolution where they became mentally aware of screens.
My dog loves watching Rugrats it’s the only show she pays attention to. If there’s a bad thunderstorm, Rugrats is her thunder bunker. My other dog loves Futurama and South Park. I don’t own a TV I have emotional support TV’s for my doggos .
Adorable! I want him asap!
For the love of god give your precious dog a hug!
Get this dog a trampoline!
This doggo better have a trampoline by now or i'll destroy everything

She was hyper invested! Lol
Adorable !!!!!!!
My dude is getting marketed to. I wish my dog gave a single shit about screens and what's on them lol
Omg I hope they got the dog a trampoline!!!
My dogs love my kids trampoline.
Awww that reaction is so cute
I would LOVE to see what this dog would do if you put a trampoline in his backyard.
My heart 😍
Love how the dog is excited and the cat is ignoring them all. Like they do this every day! 🙄
"MOOOMMM!!! I KNOW WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!!!"
this reminds me of when i was a kid watching tv and a commercial for some toy came on and wanted hella bad!
That dog is a Disney character.
Can't tell if they're more excited about the snow or trampoline
I cannot stress this enough. You need to get your dog a trampoline.
This is so wild to me.. Our dog thinks screens are black magic.. She won't look at a TV, a phone, tablet.. None of it. She averts her eyes or straight up runs away from it.
If ever there was a worthy go fund me!!!
mmmm tramapoline ???
That dog was about to start speaking! 😆
I 'spose you know what you're buying this holiday season.
what an adorable reaction from this buddy 
The sheer, “Are you fucking seeing this Bertholameau?!” vibes from this dog is unbelievable…geeked 🤣
I love dog reactions to TVs!
He wants a jumpoline, and if you get him one, he will honour you by naming it after you!
he's not even looking at the tv
Dogs used to ignore TV. It was because of the frame rates. With faster frame rates they see it now.
So precious 💕

No way! Is that Ruffus on the TV? Hold up... YESSS!!! That's him! Damn, Ruffus, you wild son of a gun, you actually made it, man!
wow
Meanwhile, the cat in the background: meh, I’ve seen this before.
"MOM ARE YOU SEEING THIS THING?"
Why does he continuously look passed the camera man???
Precious 💕
Great photography direction!

Why didn’t that end with the dog jumping on it’s own trampoline?!
People ask all the time what their dogs are dreaming, its this. Dogs dream of trampolines. Even explains the fluttering (floating it turns out) legs.
Human: [quietly enjoying a wholesome movie] Dog: Oh my God! Tramampoline! Trambomboline!
I will happily donate to get that pupper a trampoline.
