Sadly, you have to start small, and build up to the big changes. Political figures right now are vehemently opposed to any form of change, to the point that many of them will oppose any change whatsoever. As far as Steam itself is concerned, they leave the EOL stuff to the devs, and don't interfere. I would be opposed to forcing them to do anything else, because it could very well destroy the platform that is, by far, the best digital distribution platform ever created. They are entirely privately owned, which is a VERY good thing, and reduces the amount of control outside forces can impose upon them. They have proven over time that they are extremely pro-consumer focussed, and forcing them to kill themselves to better fit your particular definition of it, doesn't actually improve things for anyone.

Don't start that again.

Damn, you figured it out. You weren't supposed to do that. Now we need to gift you a pager that you'll pay a subscription for. Nah, just looking at patterns. And forums have inherent limitations that social media does not. I already said that. Just because a few will remain, doesn't mean the vast majority won't die. There are still BBS running today, doesn't mean it's not effectively dead. No hostility intended. (at least from my end) Arguments from opposing views is literally how you find the truth in the middle, and there's no other way to do it within the realm of human experience.

What "us" are you referring to?

Not really. Just as Bulletin Boards died out, so to are forums. Note, not all of the old BBs are gone, so to will some forums remain, but as long as the human attention span remains finite, there will never be anywhere near enough draw to keep people on forums in lieu of social media sites. There are only so many hours in the day, and social media gives a much bigger dose of brain happy juices than forums do.

I don't remember mentioning things? What things did I mention? Were they secret things?

Sadly, forums are in general a dying breed. They aren't addictive enough to draw the crowd from the more common social media sources. Nobody wants to converse anymore, they just want to post 15 second videos and press a button to tell others they like their 15 sec videos.

Did I mention anything?

Yes.

I get random stuff occasionally, but it's usually stuff that's kinda interesting, like philosophy stuff. Most of it is just new stuff from the few channels I frequent. However I have previously watched a few videos to see what some other political voices are saying, and had it completely wipe out my entire feed changing it to exclusively those other voices. It took me nearly a year to get my feed back to the way I like it, so I'm very wary of risking my feed anymore.

I've had incognito still mess with my feed. Youtube doesn't stop tracking on their end just because your browser doesn't track you. I'd literally have to use a privacy browser and a VPN to have it not affect my feed, and I'm way to lazy to do that right now for 1 link.

And no indication that it will ever be revived.

I don't click random youtube links anymore. Too many bad links, and it tends to mess with my feed.

Did I mention you? I was only talking about me!

At least I didn't fall for a Russian AI sadpost.

Because I must.

Very cool!

It's a whack-a-mole situation, hopefully it doesn't get out of hand.

I try to give people a lot of chances to be at least partially human, that's why it took so long.

If you consider salt a spice, maybe.

That was a problem?

@TB Looks like they got through again.

I would have a more productive debate with a wall. If you are incapable of providing anything whatsoever to this discussion, you should refrain from commenting. I will no longer be responding to any of your comments that do nothing to further the discussion.

Now you've moved on to personal attacks, and still have provided no evidence whatsoever that contradicts my claim, or supports your counterclaim.

It's not possible to prove something doesn't exist. That doesn't apply the other way around. You took up an opposing position, and provided exactly no contradicting evidence. You really don't know how basic debate works do you.
