Unfortunately, it was originally seeded with people from the meta mod community in Reddit and so they brought all that with them.

Some discussions are awesome, but anything remotely controversial is a pure echo chamber and you’ll get shouted down if you dissent.

Why do these articles never have a screenshot of the change. So annoying.

Gen Z is app savvy, not tech savvy. Very very different.

Similar to you, but I also hate the advertising industry with a burning passion and want to deprive them of any and all data possible.

This is fucking ridiculous. I’m actually speechless.

I’m not even the least bit surprised.

Video games. Streamers, YouTubers, and other ”content creators” have had a massive negative effect on the hobby as a whole.

The bandwagons driven by these people can destroyed games that should have had a mediocre reception, but instead were panned by a couple creators then that criticism was parroted loud and wide. Where a game could have had a nice little niche audience, instead it was shut down a year after launch due to the shitty bandwagons.

These people also drive companies to make horrible balancing and content decisions. Since these people play games as their jobs, and play them daily for 8-10-12+ hours, they have wildly different desires and perspectives on games. These perspectives again get parroted loudly, the game companies hear it, and make changes/decisions based on people that play all day every day. This destroys gaming for not only casual gamers, but all gamers that don’t play one game for 8+ hours a day every day.

I could go on and on, but these trash reality TV stars for nerds have done so much damage to the industry.

Piracy is not stealing. Piracy affects artists.

These two statements can and do coexist.

Sponsorblock, ublock origin(don’t use chrome), and Unhook are nice browser extensions to help remove much of the bullshit.
