Like Things are not going well on Reddit right now, the ownership of the site is currently in an ongoing battle with readers and moderators.. Users are so pissed off at attempts to monetize the site that they are working on various protests, but one of the larger gaming subreddits – r/steam with 1.9 million subscribers – is now my favourite.
We saw power outageswe saw the sites change your settings to NSFW (thus cutting off ad revenue), but r/steam – their mods were threatened with removal if they didn’t reopen the subdirectory after the initial outage – decided that if they needed to be reopened as a community, they would reopen. a purpose.
And this purpose like computer gamer point outwould become the internet’s premier address for all things steam related. And by that I don’t mean the PC’s preferred showcase and launcher, I mean the steam engines. Steam clouds. Steam tractors, steam powered cars and academic books on steam.

Although this is perhaps not the most effective form of protest—advertisements will continue to be served to anyone who views r/steam on the company’s official mobile app, while users are still creating content, this is the whole reason why they try to compress third party apps in the first place.– if you’re going to settle for a protest in the long run, you can have some fun with it.
