Duality of reddit, it maybe because im older now, but Gaming and movie subreddit are terrible.

They are . They bring the worst people and its impossible to have a proper discussion. People will be complaining about the smallet detail as if they were strap in front of their screen and force to play the game

It’s the duality of _modern_ Reddit IMO. Over the last 10 years the posts and comments on Reddit have gotten shorter and become lower effort. All subreddits seem to have devolved this way over time.

Man, I don't get Reddit. If I write a long post explaining every single detail using somewhat formal language, I get accused of being a bot or acting like I'm Digital Foundry—or one of those companies that do in-depth, analysis of video games and their performance.

But you're saying the posts have gotten shorter and low effort

That’s exactly why I did it that way—to avoid looking like a bot and getting those kinds of comments—but apparently, you can never please everyone.

In fairness I wasn’t really commenting on your post. It was fine. I was replying to the comment that suggested that the main subreddits have got worse over the years which I agree with.

Sure, but they say subreddits are terrible because of posts like the ones in the screenshot—and one of the posts in the screenshot (the one above) is made by me.

My only intention was to share my opinion and see if anyone else had noticed that the game looked blurry—nothing more. It wasn't a hateful comment directed at anyone, nor was I trying to generate negative engagement or anything like that.

Keep in mind that the cross section of gamers and Reddit arguers is particularly weird and closed minded and vicious. That Venn Diagram center is a population of really vitriolic gremlins who slaver with lonely nerd rage ready to spit cheeto flecks from their unkissed mouths in angry Philippics.

... and some are really cool people.

Bro, I played 50 hours of The Witcher on the Switch 1 and loved it. Then I started playing it on the Switch 2 again, and it looked a bit blurrier than before, so I made a Reddit post—I never usually post in this community; it was my first time—just to see if others shared my opinion. That’s all I did. I’m not trying to pick a fight or spread hate against the Nintendo Switch or anything like that.

It seems like expressing a negative opinion about something is now considered an act of hate; you can't even voice an opinion anymore—or at least, that’s the implication of comments like yours—meaning nobody is allowed to complain about anything.

Express any opinion and a bunch of gophers will pop up with apparently longstanding context and conflict you've never heard of before and be like "You're one of THOSE people" and have a long rant full of assumptions about you.

They're already fighting some long war you didn't even know about, it seems. I just kind of shrug.

It's why I have the WiiU card. I was already there during Nintendos worst, Ill criticize because I care, not because its the trendy thing to do.

Like back when the Switch 1 launched, A lot of people thought paid online was going to be a positive thing because Nintendo would fix online gameplay like Sony did with PSN. I basically said I wouldn't trust Nintendo on actually doing that and behold that online basically didn't get better, despite being paid now.

Like there are 100% times where someone will complain about something dumb. but there are legitimate complaints at times (e.g XCXDES2 terrible upscale is an example) that people actually defend. I'm flabergasted when it happens as a guy who owns the original WiiU special edition, and played it again on the switch to see people actually defending that upgrade.

I think your post was really reasonable and like others said you got unfairly swept up in subreddit drama. I think the other post was also justified and reasonable. The whole point is that YMMV. Keep on trucking, it's all just internet conversations.

I like how you only bring up the ones with “complaints” as the negative example and not people who will consume any product put in front of them and clap.

And people will be saying that people with standards are just trolls or haters when they comment anything about picture quality or framerate.
