I hate how they're almost always off by default and you usually can't turn them on until after the opening scene. I have them on whenever possible for both games and watching TV.
Yeah, I don't use 3PAs so it didn't affect me, but when I read that mods need them to effectively do their (unpaid) jobs I was immediately supportive of the blackout.

Spez doubling down drove me away from the site forever, and after coming here I'd almost forgotten what a forum of decent people was like. I would have come here regardless years ago if I'd known about it.

EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as "Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks." will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!...
