I wonder if that record takes bots into account because the site is now teeming with bots, even more so than before.

I'm curious why you think, Discord is the replacement for Reddit?

Feel like they server different purposes.

Toxic positivity is what the cool kids call it. Overtly positive, happy and encouraging comments that feel so manufactured and fake.

You might not see devoted Windows users like mac or Linux but if the Windows users were to try the other two, the majority of them are not going to like the experience and the limitations they come with.

Personally, YouTube premium is without a doubt the service I feel I get the most value out of, for the money I pay. A close second is Prime and Spotify.

I do not care for any YT exclusive content, just the ad-free experience.

It is okay to like and enjoy a game that the majority of the playerbase does not, I've had similar experience in multiple games, mostly MMORPGs and ARPGs with expansions but that does not take away from the experience of other players.

It comes down to personal preference. If you find yourself liking a game/expansion when most of the playerbase does not, it is best to avoid online forums/subreddits where the game is put on full blast (sometimes unfairly) becuase people are extrememly emotional, when the best thing for the to do is to walk away and play games they enjoy, it is just a game the stakes couldn't be any lower.

I don't have anything to add to this conversation but your idea of what the future holds for us is rather grim.
