PiratedGames content Lemmy/Reddit (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I recently checked back on the PiratedGames subreddit after long while not being there. And I wonder what other people here think but in my opinion, the quality of the subreddit has gone downhill.

Most posts from what I see are now ‘’meme’s’’, ‘‘I justify pirate because..’’ and ‘’This is my collection!’’. Pretty much just hurr-durr look and upvote me kind of content.

Actual content to help with problems, discussions (besides, I justify it because) are not there.

I know this is kind of an ironic because, this post isn’t necessarily a helpful thing either. So apologies for that.

Also what is the smartest thing to do, follow the megathread here, there or both?

The more I check Reddit, the more glad I’m that the original Moderator of PiratedGames went to Lemmy.

/r/piracy wasn't much different in that regard when I unsubbed from it, long before leaving reddit last summer. It happens anytime there's a large enough userbase, as that sort of content is easier to create and consume, the latter making it more likely to get voted up.

Yeah, 9 out 10 hot posts of the day were tired/overused memes.
