True, but that power is also diminished greatly as more and more regular users abandon the site. No eyes on the propaganda makes it worth a lot less.

Somewhat, but the way federated instances are set up, it's not nearly as bad or easily abused. Not as if making a new Reddit account was that much of a roadblock, either. They accept 10minutemail addresses.
Every single new "innovation" is literally locked behind a paywall, sometimes multiple, in tiers. You can't just "buy" anything anymore, you can only lease it, usually at exorbitant prices compared to not that long ago.
Tencent will grow to become the anti-Steam, mark my words. They already have their grubby mitts all over devs worldwide, and every single one will live to regret it (or their players, at the very least).
Butbutbut... Corbyn's antisemitism...
By the end of this century Britons will have evolved a second asshole from being perpetually fucked from both the Right and the Left. Queue that "I wouldn't say rescued, but under new management" meme...
I suppose Morhaime and Metzen have to wipe away a tear once in a while when they see their brainchild being violated in every possible way, but they can do so using fat wads of cash Harrelson-style, so I can't say I feel the least bit sad for them. This is what happens when you prostitute your (and others'!) dreams to the highest bidder. I hope it was worth it.
Vault Tec starting the war was by far the most realistic part of the story. Even when it was revealed in the games, long before the series, my reaction was "Duh".
Canceled my sub as a means of protest. I used it for research and testing purposes and 20$ wasn't that big of a deal. But I will not knowingly support this asshole if whatever his company produces isn't going to benefit anyone other than him and his cronies. Voting with our wallets may be the very last vestige of freedom we have left, since money equals speech.
I hope he gets raped by an irate Roomba with a broomstick.
My mancave is a former coal cellar. I themed it, well, former coal cellar. It has a desk and a pc inside, but that's it.
I've always wanted to see an animation that is somewhat realistic about this thing. It just defies imagination and concept art doesn't do it justice.
