Thanks for the reply. You know, when I think of "enshittification," I usually think of it in the original sense, which I understand to be the capitalist milking of an idea / enterprise / product in order to extract additional profit, meanwhile cheapening it until it's eventually little more than a useless, dried out husk. Sort of an Invasion of the Body-Snatchers thing, yeah?

In this case it seems like Rimu specifically explained why the vote-capping update was made and what it was for, which IIRC was to help prevent PF sites from getting bogged down with too much data to track, which can actually impact server performance. I.e., not for profit, but for sustainability. Perhaps a reminder that not every step forward in PF development is going to be positive for every user; some can indeed be annoying.

I mean, there are whole philosophies built around such existential group-lifting, right?

Anyway, what kind of vote-cap number would you actually be happy with? As a patron, this is something which I feel I could bring up with yon dev. I feel like it would actually be worth paying for if we could boost that number until it worked for both he and you.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we love your contributions, and I personally feel like they add a lot of value to the FV. Plus of course, I'd certainly rather see you contented here than annoyed with the project.

It would be utterly absurd for me to try to fully analyse your decision, based on the above, plus everything else, but given that-- c'mon, mate... you burned out upon a great cause, didn't you?

For my part, I'm doing what I can upon various History subs in question. A fucking idiot trying to slowly find interesting material amongst the daisies, let's say. ๐Ÿ˜„
