    Bullshit. Its on a quest to monetize the platform, thats all its doing.

    If it wanted to be a better communication platform it wouldnt be adding all this pointless superfluous shit that exists only for nickle and diming.

        Taking lessons from Valve and steam, I suspect.

        I genuinely don’t understand how these companies go “Okay, we have a very elegant, simple, sleek, and fast interface here…Heres what we should do, we should completely fuck it up, make it slower, and make it require more resources for absolutely no reason”

      As long as they allow for free streaming and file sharing, they will need to monetize. That stuff gets real expensive real fast.

      I mean, it is a company that employs people that gives away its product for free. Aside from Nitro, would you like them to monetize your personal info and sell it to 3rd parties?
