It's the same with most ways that we euphemise or censor words. It's so pathetically redundant because everyone knows what the word is supposed.to be. You may as well have said it.

Nobody in the real world cares about this though. The only context in which this pyramid has has any veracity is in the extremely rare case where you have a group of people who are interested in useful outcome.
Generally, people argue for the appearance of having won, so will resort to any and all measures regardless of their argumentative quality. In fact, the lower below the belt you can go, the more you will resonate with the layman.
So is this community just going through Reddit and verbatim reposting old threads?
Y'all massively underestimate the amount of trolls who will just pick whatever answer they think is the edgiest. Stop taking shit like this at face value.

The fact that the Reddit API scandal has now been spun into some 'battle' of salty users vs Reddit is, in microcosm, a win for Reddit. By all appearances, when viewed under that lens, they 'won'.
It was never a struggle, it was a statement of intent. And that statement of intent has, in my opinion, been actioned because here we are now, with a promising alternative.
Reddit will probably flourish under its new guise, accepting that isn't a sort of capitulation. Just move on.
Give it time, man.

It's a shame that PM has garnered the reputation that he has. He's a legitimate legend of the industry and is clearly incredibly passionate and ambitious. Students study him and his games.
His recent track record of overpromising and underdelivering is no more egregious than the other major players in the space. Players that actually have more scope and resources to execute, to boot.
I hope he sticks the landing for something soon.
