"if a service is free, then you are the product" is only true if the platform monetizes the users

P99 doesn't monetize it's users

you're dumb and you suck at forum questing

go make a new forum acct, I don't wanna see my name in your posts
Go check the mirror about including others names in posts.

Monetization is not required for you to be the product of a free service. If that free service is advertising the popularity of it’s user base as part of the draw for others to use the service then the user base is the product. P99 advertises it’s popularity on it’s front page.

The time you spend here is used as a means to bring others in to this server. Because you are not compensated for your time does not mean that you are not the product. Each user that sticks around contributes to high population here and that in turn is a social proof to new players looking at which server to play on.

The question is whether those in charge of the server are interested in growing the server or instead are interested in managed decline. Evidence points to the latter.

Haha. Hehe. As if I have any say in who reads what and what gets acted upon.

All im seeing here is a bunch of entitled manbabies unable to ween themselves off being able to rant, rave and wax lyrical about things they are afraid of.
Things they are not in control of.
Things they hate because hating is easier than admitting to fear.
Fear is only for the weak.

Things changing around here is like ya mother (finally) charging you to live in the basement.
In this case your mother (hehe) is the mods and the rent is being growed up about what spews from your mouth.

So, pay the rent or find somewhere else to live.

Of course, since i have no say what-so-ever here and I am unafraid to be wrong it could be a conspiracy and we are in fact being monetized somehow.

Hows that? Did I get that right?
Mark out of 10 and spelling/grammar correction always welcome.

Horrible idiots, really.

And since you mentioned it - fear is useful. Just don't let it overpower you.

The question is whether those in charge of the server are interested in growing the server or instead are interested in managed decline. Evidence points to the latter.
Most free games have either in-app purchases or ads to still make money. Therefore these games would care about feedback to not lose their advertisers/ maybe gain more advertisers/ and more players means more in-app purchases and ad views. So they would want more players

But a better comparison for an emulated server would be like Red Cross where it’s all volunteers and donation funded. They would want more volunteers and that’s it. If anything they would want less users because that would mean less resources needed. But they would also listen to feedback because feedback matters more when it’s serious real life stuff. And also to use resources better

P99 doesn’t need to worry about keeping advertisers, and if anything they would want less players, not more. Because they are probably not getting enough extra in donations to handle the hassle of more. So no practical reason to improve. You can get what you get. Or you can get worse. Or you can get nothing at all

It's the goal of like red cross or whatever to end world hunger.

P99s stated goal was to be a digital museum of sorts. It's mostly accomplished this.
