  • Care to elaborate why you’re calling them Evil Games?

    They are better for developers via unreal engine.

    They are better for both developers and publishers via the markets lowest cut of earnings via their store front.

    They pay well to try break steams monopoly. If anything, steam are the bad guys via their extortionate cut. (30%)

    They are better for indie Devs on Fortnight compared to Roblox.

    They do everything better than most… so place your anger correctly. I’m sick of people hating on epic while they’re the only company trying to beat the monopolys…

    Might be an unpopular opinion, but I despised Reddit videos…

    It encouraged outrageous amounts of content theft.

    Sure YouTube sucks. But stealing the content from it isn’t fair on the people who worked incredibly hard to make said content. One of the beast thing about Reddit og days was discovering amazing content creators from people sharing their videos directly from the source. And no, a sticky comment or comment from the “op”, sorry content theif, isn’t good enough. Just sharing the god damn origin of the original source. This also goes for music, news, images, etc. But also, if you don’t like being tracked, use non-tracking links or piped for YouTube etc…

    Tldr, don’t steal content, don’t encourage stealing content. Support the content creators… Stop being lazy with posts and doom scrolling.



  • Total users have sky rocketed and iirc like 90% of users/people who log in to say vote, save and subscribe to communities are lurkers. Hell, I’ve been “lurking” since I’ve signed up.

    Since there’s such a spike in users, and prior to the Reddit death, most users were power users. I’m surprised that the active user ratio didn’t decrease. (My 90% lurker figure would give a 0.1 ratio). The fact it near increased by .05 instead is wild.
