Yeah this is never a good sign.
That being said, perhaps because I got into a couple.of their podcasts, but I like a bunch of people at IGN. How come you're not a fan?

+1 on the "don't engage him or this" gang.
Split second is the horror movie I saw way too early in my life. I can't remember the circumstances but I may have been 4-5 seeing a particularly scary scene in the basement of my grandparents house.
Descent would have fucked me up, the claustrophobia messed with me seeing it as an adult.
I know, right? But I suppose their reasoning is that my ads are also blocked across the rest of their ecosystem, my subscription isn't covering those losses.
Still though, a model that requires that customers look at something they don't want to nor will engage with smells like failure.
I can't remember what video I watched that talked about the unsustainabilty and likely the late stages of an ad revenue driven internet content model, and this situation reeks of that.
I don't know what new paradigm might replace it if this is the case, but the current model feels like it's absolutely failing.
So I have YouTube premium but also have ad-blocker, for the first time yesterday I was noticing absolutely abysmal speeds on YouTube and I suspect this is why. I thought my computer was starting to shit the bed initially it was so brutal.
One can dream.
Count me in on the espresso machine. I'd not complain at the PS5 mind you, but I like me some really good coffee.
That number is way too low, we ought to be at more than that right now.
I'm genuinely surprised I haven't seen a troll on Lemmy until now.
Now it's beginning to feel a bit more like Reddit.
As someone who LOVES warp (despite not being crazy about requiring login), this is fantastic news.
