  • How is the Discord way anti-consumer? Here, let me walk through to you the steps:

    I go to Subscriptions on the app, I see my subscriptions now, I see a button that says Cancel. I click it, a window pops up that says I can Continue or Nevermind. Right now I’d Continue but I don’t want to because I’m on a month trial, but I do imagine that by clicking Continue, it’ll end things with a notification that tells me I’ve unsubscribed.

    How is that process anti-consumer? It’s stupid easy to understand. I think you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.

    Yeah I mean, it’s silly as shit.

    Both Epic and Valve are like multi-billionaires in the gaming industry. So it’s silly to me that people are rah-rah’ing for one billionaire over another billionaire. And please spare me the launcher comparisons, I know Steam is like feature rich, though it is because of it’s stupid social features and built-in Chromium browser that it had to cut off old OS support.

    I don’t care for any of that shit, game is a game.










  • People don’t want to deal with the heavy costs and load of hosting their own content. That’s unfortunately the sacrifice. Google is big enough to house it all, whereas, we’d probably see content from a creator last for a finite amount of time before they end up having to close up shop or beg for donations.

    Good joke, YouTube.

    Ah yes, but what about the violation to our time where we’ve had to sit through 30 second ~ 2 minute ads of over-dramatized ways for shitty companies to get us to buy shit we don’t want and subscribe to services we don’t need? What about those violations and those violations happen more frequently than us blocking your ads? The hell with you.
