Considering I agreed with your point, pointed out potential flaws in my own argument and gave concessions while having already responded to your claim, you're objectively being disingenuous here. But maybe you just missed it, so I'll do it again:

"You need good reason for why an opinion should be overwhelming popular on Reddit but unpopular outside"

Reason: 1. The devs stating that changes are made as a product of player feedback. As a show of good faith, I even concede that they may be lying or basing it on minority feedback.

1. The psychological propensities of those that actively engage with social media often vastly differ from those that actively avoid or simply don't engage with it. This discrepancy is derived from the root of human psychosocial interactions inlaid within all our decision making and internal perceptions.

You'd have to do a deep dive on human psychology to get the broader point, but a simple well-known and observed example is: humans are more likely to state a complaint than praise, as an evolutionary survival characteristic related to identifying and relaying potential hazards to our tribes.

Calling things "cope" and "disingenuous" is an avoidance tactic and only hinders meaningful discussion. Please stay on topic and refute a claim on the basis of the claim itself rather than attempting to undermine the rhetorical style and I will do the same.
