    I see this repeated a lot, but I’ve never experienced it or seen it in person. Just because something is repeated by reddit over and over doesn’t make it true. What I usually find is that both exist, usually with some interplay between the two. Maybe I’m just not a part of the communities that have gotten rid of their forum structure.

    I hate ads as much as any other lemmy user, but quests are pretty non-invasive. I guess it’s annoying to close the popup once every so often. Nitro is still massively overpriced, but seems to only have features a normal user wouldn’t need.

    I don’t like look forward to it getting worse, but I used Skype for some time after it became nearly unusable, so discord is still way better.

      I’ve seen it happen with multiple platforms I used to enjoy. I happily paid for nitro for 5 years and recently stopped paying when I started getting popup ads.

        I do think it’s unreasonable that for a paying user you can’t hide the quests. I don’t want that to be pay walled, but that seems like another incentive for nitro being handed up on a silver platter.
