Jeff Kaplan is sick of hearing you demonize games you weren't going to play anyway: 'Shut the f**k up. No one cares. We don't need to hear that you weren't into it' (www.pcgamer.com)

"There are certain forums or Reddits or whatever where it's just like, yeah, that one's on ignore from now on. They're not actually productive in any way," Kaplan said. "It's just who can get the most points by being outraged. I'm bored with it."

Well there's your problem. You're being ragebated by bots, trolls, shills, basement dwellers (the ones who don't shower - the ones who shower are fine), and the perpetually online.

Consider doing yourself a favor by never exposing yourself to the shit that comes out of that anus.

Well, good luck with that. I have my watch history disabled on YouTube and I watch no such content, but YouTube still pushes the likes of Asmongold on me. Imagine what it's like for people whose history tells YouTube they like content related to gaming. Say you hear about Dustborn and you search for it on YouTube to check out what it's about. What do you see?

I think having your watch history disabled probably makes that worse. If you don't give YouTube data on what you watch, then it'll always push the most trendy, popular stuff on you. Before I started using the Unhook extension recently, my YT recommendations never included Asmongold for example. Because YouTube has figured out that I don't watch that kind of stuff.

I was referring to Reddit, not YouTube.

I use FreeTube all the time. If you are picky about what you watch, then there's a lot of great creators on there.

YouTube is not a forum. YouTube shorts has the same issues though.

Edit: also YouTube comments is a cesspool but I forgot they exist lol.
