  • Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

  • Yeah, we may be at checkmate. Unlike the end of the age of the robber barons, when we reformed capitalism in the late 1800s / early 1900s in the US... this time the capitalists have purchased enough politicians to stop reform completely and forever.

  • YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers

  • Honestly, Google did this to themselves with not properly vetting the advertisers that they sell space to, and with oversaturation of ads.

    If they'd have stopped granting ad space to scammers and malware spreaders, and if they'd have stopped adding advertisements at the line most people find tolerable (which seems to be a single ad between videos... not multiple at a time, and certainly no mid-rolls), they wouldn't have triggered quite the level of ad blocking that they did.

    I see this "problem" that they have as being entirely of their own making.

  • It's hard to get steam into tablespoons. I was really impressed.

  • Am the the only weirdo who swapped over to Linux without knowing a ton about it, and didn't really have any issues? I just started with a Windows-user-friendly distro (Mint Cinnamon), and then just looked up how to get through any weird (to me) issues that I encountered over time. Gradually learned more about what's under the hood as I went.

    But I see these memes and stories about "I tried Linux, it lasted a week and I went back to Windows" here and there.

    It's not scary. Am I missing something? XoD

  • Feel your pain. I'm constantly thinking, what the hell do I have to do to get r/orioles to follow me over to Lemmy to grow the numbers? They are one of the only things left at Reddit that I regularly look at. But 99% of the mod and user base there just doesn't care about the the issue.

    Conversely, that means that at least sports spaces are among the least bot-spammed places on Reddit. So there's that.

  • Please definitely don't be discouraged in the slightest, TPM.

    Single-game forums were almost always the smallest gaming subreddits on Reddit, often times being several orders of magnitude smaller than the "gaming in general" communities.

    But that special feeling of having other people passionate about that specific game you love can't be beat. Hang in there, and you'll definitely grow and get that engagement in time.
