and you know what, it won’t matter. not one bit. because people are lazy and people don’t care or are indifferent.
look at reddit. big uproar…for a few days, weeks. now pretty much back to normal.
even myself, I still go back to certain communities because they don’t exist elsewhere. and like someone else said it’s not just software or platforms, it’s people and countries, etc. etc.
it’s hard to make changes and have them stick. it’s even harder to convince people to leave the easy and known for the not so easy and unknown.
and I think we’re going to see lots more…lots, lots more. it will be the new normal.
And god forbid you point out the fact that this attitude among consumers is exactly the reason these companies are brazen enough to pull this shit. People don’t want to hear how their attitudes around instant gratification and focus on convenience over absolutely all else just might have consequences.
Publishers hate surprise fees, distribution platforms absolutely won’t pay per download, developers (companies) are stretching budgets as it is, and the individual developers are quick to anger and will hold a grudge for eternity.
The stupid idea went forward despite warning from people within the fucking company, no less. All because they wanted to get some of Hoyogames (Genshin and Honkai Impact)'s juicy profits

I still left Reddit and unity and haven’t returned. Some people do care. Not everyone is indifferent.
Right here with you friend. Fuck reddit, they burned me hard by killing Sync. The most I use it is when I’m googling something I need.
Same
Reddit is not fun
I was a victim of reddit’s “Randomly permaban everyone” strangely

Unity was the biggest stumble.

They really gutted themselves.

I went to reddit for Valve memes, but now I decided to make my own community here for it. The only problem is NO ONE ELSE FUCKING POSTS!
What’s the Lemmy community? I’m already subbed to sourcememes.
Edit: oh yeah that’s just you. Enjoying your content and will try to post occasionally
The only time I use reddit Is when Google is straight up useless and I gotta put reddit at the end of a search
