You mean hubris?

So your saying that its good but not historically accurate. I love history but I can enjoy historical fiction just as much.

What do you mean ? Is Napoleon shit; I haven’t seen it yet?

Please 🙏 don’t be shit

I don’t think this is true and our conversation is proof too that. This post could have been written by a bot and yet we still don’t interact with OP even though he is human. At this point we are not only generating content for others to see and to inject their pov. But also embolding OPs post getting it higher in the ranking as unique and worthy content.

Also most humans who post og content don’t respond that often. Ofc their are alot of exceptions online but normal humans aren’t able to respond to everyone anyway, unless they forsake their life in order to respond to every comment made.

So I don’t believe it’s garbage when starting out. Later on yes.

It’s not about that. it’s about generating content to generate traffic so the new users will create content on their own.

Basically like jumpstarting a car.

(No content. No users, chicken and egg problem)

Couldn’t we just scrape reddit with some bots and VPN and have the content populate Lemmy?

I mean this is exactly how some other platforms started out in the past.

Nah its more that they don’t want to further canibalize there own customers. New customers will/are steered towards the subscription game. However old players may or may not have all content so if they want new dlc for their current game they are out of luck and will be funneled twords you guessed it the subscription model.

I bet they will probably launch a massive mail campaign for old and new players and update the game as well so they can insert a pop up with a message like "want more and better experience " or “want to continue the journey…” I fear they will alter the game a bit nothing major just slightly to steer you
