  • Exactly, there was a social contract where we would exchange watching ads for consuming the following product without additional charges. Those days are mostly gone and you have to pay to get in the door, watch and ad and the product has enshitifies to the point of usually not being worth it. Ad block and cable cutting has been a method to claw that back to a fairer exchangr, or atleast give the consumer some negotiation power in that dynamic. However its just created a game of cat and mosue between those who wish to consume your attention and people who dont want sponsored shit beamed into their brain space.














  • I dont blame you for that being the change that made you win EvE, I also think fondly of that era, but also recognize that MMO players in 2025 would have hated the old game. The timegating of skills made it so characters had value, now they dont, people do and the shifting dynamics in 0.0 have come to reflect that (See the N+1 problem and the attempts to claw back an out of control ISK faucets).

    I do think the game is in a healthier place, but thats only been over the last year or so.
