Stickers are all still there. Not all posts are worth being made, but some unworthy posts were being made for purposes of engagement. This is now fixed.
Fixed is subjective, and per the poll at the top of every page of this thread, the bulk of the users disagree. If I'm being real, the bulk of the users probably don't care, but of those that do, the bulk do not approve of the change.
He was only turning off user score until dozens of people immediately noticed and complained about their removal. Then hevsaw just how driven by "engagement" they are, and decided to save them.
Again, subjective use of the word "save". The entire concept of internet safety reeks of Nulls The Daily Show mindset.
Null, the man with the most information, decided to go a different route
Null, by his own admission, doesn't run many (any?) analytics on the site. Removing the notifications, per Null's own words, was clearly an emotional reaction, not an informed reaction.
FIFY. Definitely sperging. Myself included. Honestly, this thread would be a lot better without the same faggots sucking Null off in other threads (and apparently adding to the complain pool) shitting up this thread.
That said, if people are enjoying it, more power to them.
Everything that could be considered important is still there, maybe requiring another second and click of effort
Actually the one thing that isn't there is a summarizer! While I mentioned that having utility for power users, the notification bell used to give a quick indication of how much heat you've gotten, WITHOUT A SINGLE CLICK. Now what you're describing takes 2-3 clicks, and I don't even think includes a count (outside of quotes / replies / @'s).
User choice is still present.
It's literally not present with regards to sticker notifications. Null opted to disable user choice in this matter.
