I recently checked back on the PiratedGames subreddit after long while not being there. And I wonder what other people here think but in my opinion, the quality of the subreddit has gone downhill.

Most posts from what I see are now ‘’meme’s’’, ‘‘I justify pirate because..’’ and ‘’This is my collection!’’. Pretty much just hurr-durr look and upvote me kind of content.

Actual content to help with problems, discussions (besides, I justify it because) are not there.

I know this is kind of an ironic because, this post isn’t necessarily a helpful thing either. So apologies for that.

Also what is the smartest thing to do, follow the megathread here, there or both?

The more I check Reddit, the more glad I’m that the original Moderator of PiratedGames went to Lemmy.

A lot of the reddit power users have moved. What's left is now is bots (re)posting the jankiest content and lurkers with too much inertia to move.

I find it funny any time I check Reddit and see the people complaining in the comments. 'Whats going on with Reddit lately?', 'Why are there so many bots and so much spam as of late?'.

Memories of gerbils I swear, we fuckin' told you this was gonna happen. How are these simpletons surprised?! (I know I answered my own question there lol).
