I know I’m late to the party but I just found out and didn’t find a post regarding this
TL;DR: Steam now calculates review scores based on reviews made on your languages only (if enough). This is on by default, but can be reverted to go back to review scores based on all reviews (from people that purchased the game directly on Steam only)
lemmy.ml, blahaj.zone, lemmygrad, hexbear…
And the entire rest of lemmy is full of people crying about AI or cryptocurrency
I don’t seem to have this problem as much. That said, I didn’t on Reddit either. Maybe it is because my feeds are mostly science, weird maps, and things discovered on lemmy.nsfw.
Tbh I very rarely see anyone mention cryptocurrency. I guess if it’s brought up I’ll see someone complain about it, but it’s almost never brought up in the first place. Especially compared to AI which is talked about as often as politics.
Doesn’t make it less annoying
Full disclosure, I will sometimes cry about cryptocurrency stuff or slop. But I mined a bitcoin many moons ago, too! And I’m quantizing an LLM as I type!
there sure are many crypto scams, but I hate people generalizing it to all cryptos
To be fair there isn’t a lot of use for cryptocurrencies for legitimate purposes for 99% of people. Given its niche use case it’s talked about an awful lot.
I’ve been in countries whose economies are so bad that you need 10,000 of the local currency to buy a loaf of bread. Even they don’t use cryptocurrencies, they just deal with it or they use the US dollar unofficially.
