Interesting! I recently decided not to comment on a post that is not even a month old because there was no discussion about it anymore (and hadn’t been even just a few days after it was posted) and I thought that my comment would be read by barely anyone. Not saying that this is generally a reasonable decision even in the current system, but sometimes it is even when one has something interesting to say… Maybe it’s worth writing a longer post about this?
I don’t know effective ways to cause EA to change, or, in the alternative, to get people to debate for the other side regarding my criticisms. And I don’t want to play the social game of figuring out how to get the positive initial reactions, popularity and upvotes to draw more attention to my posts. I want an alternative truth-seeking game rather than to win more at the social game. But I don’t know how to effectively say that to EA either.
