Apparently said by someone whose never encountered one of Reddit's over-zealous moderators. Even if you have never attempted to spam in your life, some of those guys will silently censor you if they just happen to disagree with something you said, or for some other reason that is almost never explained. Every Reddit sub is moderated differently, and while most of them seem to have reasonable moderators, I would guess that between five and ten percent of their subs are moderated by guys that just love to censor posts or ban people, with no explanation and even if the post did not appear to violate any of the sub's rules. And the worst of it is that some of them are chickenshit cowards about it, because they use "shadowbanning" which means that as long as the person who wrote the post stays logged in, they have no idea that their post was deleted, because it still appears for them (and only for them).
I fail to see the problem with this. While that is indeed terrible and opaque moderation, it is moderation nonetheless. Luckily, Reddit is not the entire internet and there are lots of other places if you're tenacious enough to wish to go. I love the communities in Discord!
Are we still having this DMCA argument about piracy and the lack of business models? I thought that was a resolved issue thanks to streaming. If the UFC hasn't jumped on the internet bandwagon along with the rest of the sports leagues they have nobody to blame but themselves for their inability to change with the times and offer their customers a convenient way to legally enjoy their product.
Though I seldom shop at Steam anymore (My priorities of buying games are 1. Switch 2T. GOG 2T. itch.io 4. Steam. That being said, I did preorder a Steam Deck), Valve's Gabe Newell hit the nail on the head when he said that Piracy wasn't a matter of prices but of service: people will give you many if you're served well. I mean, he's right; It worked for Disney out of all companies once they released Disney+ which was a bargain!
