I’d expend your tldr just a bit to include.
- users are stupid
- software is designed to work for both Tom Tecnowizard and Paul Pebkac
- finally, ads ruin everything they touch

In my opinion, where this “movement” failed was in the messaging.
“Stop Killing Games” is a great slogan written by a young person without much experience.
No company or government will pass a law that says, “you must indefinitely support every game you ever release”. Now, I understand that this isn’t what the group was calling for, but this is the message that comes across. Because of that, it immediately loses support from anyone in any type of software industry and likely many other industries as we know it isn’t realistic.
RIP Google Play Music. The best music service to ever exist.
I’ve gotten my last 2 jobs through LinkedIn. I know it doesn’t work well for some fields, but for tech it is great.
Exactly my thought. LinkedIn didn’t scrape their own data.
You may be overthinking this. For every virtuoso, musical genius, there exist people that do not like their music.
Some people love Michael Jackson, some people don’t. Same with the Beatles, Madonna, and Taylor Swift.
Musical taste is one of the most subjective topics that exist.
Unfortunately, it was originally seeded with people from the meta mod community in Reddit and so they brought all that with them.
Some discussions are awesome, but anything remotely controversial is a pure echo chamber and you’ll get shouted down if you dissent.
Wow, you really got everyone in the comments. Well played.
Here’s your free “whoooooosh” award as your joke went flying over everyone’s head.
I laughed, but caddy shack always makes me laugh.
It is just a store. People want to buy games from a social platform for some reason.
Why do these articles never have a screenshot of the change. So annoying.
Gen Z is app savvy, not tech savvy. Very very different.

While I agree it is absurd, it absolutely happens. See the Las Vegas convention workers union. I was told that one worker could not plug-in an extension cord that had been previously plugged in because it wasn’t his job. There were numerous other instances exactly like that, while working a convention center floor.
It does happen.
