A lot of posts end up with comment counts in the single digits (or none at all!), something that never used to happen. The ones which gain any sort of activity beyond that are the spicy takes which energize troll accounts, who then bait readers into participating. It’s depressing.

When you can make giant mecha, everything gets scaled to giant mecha proportions.

I mean, have you opened up a Gizmodo or AV Club article from 2012? None of those classic commenters are here anymore and a lowly article back then got 5x the number of total comments as in 2023.

Sunday’s article (“Overwatch 2's Story Trailer Is A Sign Of Hope After All The Bad News”) quickly aged very, very badly…

Cancel PVE and then have the gall to charge $15 for this? This is scummy as shit.
