Because I was generally enjoying Reddit before being forced out by the API crap. I'm a creature of habit so tend to dislike change and as much as I'm generally liking Lemmy, I'm having to force myself to not check the app every time I get bored because I'll just see the same posts 20 times in a day thanks to the relatively low level of interaction on the platform currently. Whenever I go looking for tech support online, it's nearly always a reddit post from 2-8 years ago that has the answer but I don't want to spend any amount of time on the site, particularly if I'm on my phone at the time since it means doing that annoying step of having to manually change "www" to "old" to make the site functional and readable. I guess I'm just feeling vengeful at yet another good (or some approximation of) thing ruined by yet another money-grubbing, power-hungry, self-important tosser.

Though I see what you're saying... ish. I think at this point, we aren't going to see a massive influx of users without the death of competing platforms like Reddit since there are enough people either happy to keep taking the punches or think sunshine shines out of Spez's asshole. Frankly, we can do without the second kind of person but the first won't do anything without a certain amount of persuasion and I reckon the sinking of the ol' Reddit ship would be just enough of a toe-capped-boot up the nether regions to persuade.

Edit: grammar whoopsies

Hopefully it costs them dearly. Kinda like the whole Tumblr censorship fiasco and drastic fall in value but before they sell it. Put #FuckSpez in the poor house

I'd adopt "zines" expressly to overuse it, make people cringe and demonstrate just how dumb it sounds. "mags" just makes me think of guns

Sadly this "own nothing and be happy" world only exists for those who don't make hundreds of thousands for the great gift of destroying the world for everybody else.

I really wish I didn't agree with you though same could be said of the Xbox or Nintendo fanatics. Whichever tyrant dictates it will find a following among the fanboys

It's nice that he's being honest about the bullshittery but all the same he can shove it. Glad I haven't bought a Ubi game in years and it doesn't look like that's going to be changing any time soon.

I stand by the conclusion no matter the reason at this point. Bunch of scum the lot of them

Problem isn't just on Linux's side for a change. Louis Rossmann did a video on Netflix's bullshit some weeks ago. Seems it's far from uncommon to not get what you're paying for with those shitbags

You're not wrong but that's not the point here. QBittorrent doesn’t have malware which means they got it from the wrong source.

Doesn’t sound like you were looking in the right places

Bunch o' fuckwits trying to make themselves sound like damned war heroes

I know what the meme is. The comment is supposed to be a satirical state on the reality that many people think they're still buying something when they pay Steam, PSN or what have you.
