"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.
