MODERATORS
Sounds like people need to start taking their mods off of there quick.
Might be too late. They changed the policy a few years ago when they introduced mod packs. They didn't want entire packs to fail if one person pulled their mod, so total deletion was disabled.
Folks can still hide their mods and make new individual downloads impossible, but it's still there in the background.
(All this is from memory. I hope I'm wrong)
I wouldn't advocate removing mods. Definitely put them on another site though.

Fuck em nexus has sucked for a while anyway, they started enshittification years ago.
Care to explain in what way? I've been a casual user of the side for a few years now and except the short waiting times for downloads and endorsement reminders there has been nothing to really frustrate me.
The constant pushes for their premium model, while understandable, sucked as a user. Same with the increasing push to do EVERYTHING through their mod managers which actually had a tendency to conflict with the community made installers for a lot of older games.
They also had weird stances as to what triggered a mod as NSFW. Nobody (sane) would complain about the straight up sex mods but it had the same youtube problem where mature/"mature" content would get age gated. Same with their very hit or miss rules on "politics". The reality being that it was just a way to blanket ban content for the moderators but it led to hilarity when Skyrim (the game that site basically was built on) has white supremacists in-game but you can't even acknowledge that because it would make the chuds angry out of game.
For what it was? I liked it. But it has been on the decline for... probably about half the time it has existed.
I'll also add on that there is a tin foil (but not THAT much) conspiracy that a lot of the pushback against Bethesda's premium mods came from the Nexus mods staff/team since it was a direct competition to them and they realized no modder would risk that smoke from... asking to get paid for their hard work.
I’ll probably keep using it and see what happens. To be honest I’ll just go where the content is, and if the new people fuck it up it’ll likely go elsewhere.
I got a "lifetime membership" on discount right before they did away with that option entirely. I'll stick around for a bit, too, mostly.out of convenience, but I ain't contributing, and I'm leaving uBlock on at all times.
Could have been worse. My first initial on reading the title was that some enshitification factory like Fandom. com or Microsoft had bought it
edit: wait nevermind. Chosen apparently is a literal enshitification company
They had a good run. It was fun while it lasted.
This is shit but... if people weren't already concerned over the massive monopoly that Nexus had then they weren't paying attention.
I wonder if someone could upload a snapshot of it to the Internet Archive.
I uninstalled Nexus Mods. Thank you.
