This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That sounds like the anti-cheat is working then. The entire point is increasing the barrier of entry to cheating.

It didn't though, those types of hacks have been around forever. It's how people cheat on consoles without risking bans for modded lobbies and trainers.

I want to be clear, the cheats are just as easy as they have always been to use, particularly if you throw money at them. These kernel modules and invasive anti-cheat mechanisms are far more effective at exfiltrating data and destroying privacy than they are at preventing aimbots.
