Enabled wealth cap. Several players were holding on to massive amounts of money, artificially inflating the in-game economy and driving prices higher than the average player can realistically afford.
His obsession with the letter X is like that middle school kid who used to talk about how many girlfriends he got and how good he is at being a bad ass...
Basically, he's a less likeable version of Zane from Hypnospace Outlaw.
This is PRECISELY the reason. He fired a lead engineer who told him they can't control how many people engage with his tweets. So he made it so that EVERYONE gets to see his tweets in their feed. Queue mass blocking of him and now he's upset.
Oh no. I'm in Arkansas.
Guess I'll turn on the VPN.
Fuck it. Hit them with a couple of billion and THEN companies might stop being shitheads to basic human rights.
That's because it is. r/place is a pathetic attempt to try to bring engagement back. But honestly everything on the board is just what happened last year. Bunch of popular subs branding the same spaces on the board, people spamming with Among Us guys. Just this year has a brand new message of Fuck Spez that will no doubt be removed before the end of the event.
Going to call it. Right before place ends, they're going to completely wipe all the Fuck Spezes.
r/Place was insanely popular... Popular enough that people bitched for a few years before they brought it back. Now Reddit's in the corner and they're trying to bring r/Place back. On one hand I'm very curious how it'll turn out this year. On the other, I won't be doing anything to it because I really don't care for Reddit to use the community's art as a reason for them to generate more traffic and more profit.
Tinfoil hat is ON. Spez and Loyalist are squashing any and all criticism that appears on r/All.
Which is why people should scrub their comments. A lot of people are holding on to "The good times." with their posts and comments. It doesn't matter if reddit can technically undo the work, I'm still going to check and make sure it stays gone. Without that content, reddit is nothing.
You don't really get it, do you? Most of the mods in their respective communities cared about fostering a thriving community for their interests. Yes, power hungry mods who only do it out of power tripping exist, but those mods are the ones who are likely staying. The passionate ones, the ones who made the site, are leaving.
So now when everyone's favorite subreddit gets installed with a bunch of new power-hungry mods, things aren't going to be quality. There will be tons of shit flinging, tons of splitting the userbase and the general quality of the community will cease existing.
Free labor is replaceable. But passionate people are not.
Capitalism! Exploited by greedy leeches in a society indoctrinated to do nothing about it!
