    I think you’d be hard pressed to find a marketplace that isn’t enshitified in some way. Most are going to shove ads in your face which is shitty, but most people aren’t going to recognize it as a bad thing because they’re there to shop.

      Right so no actual examples then?

      And you can’t say advertising because of course there’s going to be adverts up for games sold on the platform. I think most people would argue that if you go into a store, and then see a sign in that store, for something that is sold in the store, that’s not advertising, that’s just signage.

      The goal of advertising is to try to convince you that you want a product or a service. But if you are already in the store you’ve already made the decision that you want that product or service, so by definition you can’t be advertised to at that point.

        Why the hell would I want to engage with you when you and everyone else is already being so condescending and shitty about this towards me? No, I’m not going to explain my opinion just so you can browbeat me over it.

        Lemmy is supposed to be my relaxing time to just chat and shit online with folks. Now I’ve got a whole fucking gaggle of people after me for mildly criticizing a thing they like in the most minor way possible. That I said I like and use myself. So no. I’m not going to elaborate on my opinion.

        It really fucking triggers my RSD getting so much push back for something so fucking minor. “Steam isn’t perfect,” and everyone just wants to fucking crucify me. “Give us a real example so we can tell at you more for having a different opinion,” fuck off.
