Traffic quality plays a big role too. If you never click on or engage with any ads your visits aren’t worth much anyway. You could even vpn yourself from a poor country and be considered even less valuable to the ad machines lol
It’d be a preferable situation if it were either/or but even then I realize I’m probably not big and bad enough to strong arm myself into that position everyone else would rather have.
Spez is/was a doomsday prepper though I think he figures he’s got an edge over everyone else
The leadership is too much for me. Too many right wing shitbirds with conspiracy delusions, too much open partying with Ghislaine(sp?) Maxwell, and too many mishandled scandals relating to sexual content with minors.
Huffman (Spez) gave some interview where he talks about civilization falling and he’d “be a slaver rather than a slave” (paraphrasing, I don’t have the interview open) which is just wild because he’s scrawny as fuck.
There’s always rumors of an IPO but I feel like the current staff isn’t fit to head a public company and would crumble under wide public scrutiny like on the markets
It’s the only of its kind as far as I’m aware and tbh, I had a lot of frustrations with various design choices they made.. but with nothing else like it I enjoyed it and will buy this one too lol. I don’t expect them to change their approach on a few things but I can tolerate it just for the sake of a souls shooter
But it’s a shame because I didn’t really enjoy too many of the boss fights. Ironic since that’s usually a big draw for these games
I don’t have huge amounts of spare time, probably one hour at a time a few times a week
Damn I don’t think I’d even bother with that kind of schedule, honestly. I’ve played most of them and I can’t think of any that I think I could’ve ‘properly enjoyed’ on that kind of schedule. Even the older games will take tens of hours and you’ll occasionally need to keep things in mind for later in the game (places to go check out, storyline bits, where tf to go next). I’ve restarted before because I couldn’t remember where to go next >.>
And these games are solid overall but they can have extended lulls and you’ll end up spending entire gaming sessions in boring parts lol
If you don’t mind graphics I’d just do the golden age, the psx gen games. So like ff7-9 and Tactics.
These are imo the highest quality games in the franchise and Tactics is the most well written and themed game in the whole franchise too.
The remasters of 7-9 on current gen consoles (probably on pc too?) have a speed up button so you can get through the slow parts much faster. It’s really helpful and I wish all of them had it
Yeah I figure I’ll give it time, but probably gonna test out some other alternatives in the meantime too and just see what sticks.
I got my parents (age 60s) onto Reddit, it was a bit of a challenge but they figured it out for the sake of using it for their niche hobbies. I’ve met people that use it but never the power user type, always people that use it really casually, like just a couple subreddits. Part of what made it bearable was the third party apps too ofc. It always felt convoluted but this is even worse to me. Just figuring out how to respond to your notification was a challenge lol. I had to ultimate go to your profile, your recent posts, and then reply from there. The link to the main topic just goes to the top and this chat is buried
This all feels so convoluted I’m not too sure about it. Reddit was kind of confusing initially too so I get that’s part of it but I could never like, recommend my friends or family visit this since it’s so convoluted
I don’t think they can ipo until a lot of the current staff has been replaced, Huffman included. Some of these dudes been around the company for too long and been involved in too many of reddits old scandals. Only so many pedos and child sex traffickers can come through your offices before the shit begins to get residue everywhere
If the public took a closer look at Reddit leadership I think it would only fuck their ipo.

If you're waiting for spez to admit how wrong he was and blah blah, don't.
i think he will, except it’ll be in some backhanded way where he frames himself as a victim. He can’t help himself when it comes to the victimization stuff like how he criticized third party apps for being more profitable than actual Reddit which is just pathetic from an investing standpoint
I think Huffman is very weak as a CEO and consistently misses the mark so he’ll be whining again sooner or later for sure

I think there was/is a monetization route through the use of user data (probably why they’re pushing their app so much) as well as using all the data for things like language AI modeling.
But on that last one it seems like the biggest players such as openAI and Microsoft already scraped their site freely. Not sure if they’ve missed a big chunk of that opportunity by now
I have developed the impression, and it’s mostly just my hunch not so much evidence based - spez and co are kind of kicking themselves for being oblivious to the AI training rush and failing to monetize on it. Probably didn’t even realize it was happening until we all did via crazy headlines showing up in news about what AI could do. That kind of thing may lead to kneejerk decisions on api access
