Because the aoe2 reddit quality of posts have more to do with pandering to big streamers/casual opinions than having any actual merit. Even if someone has an opinion you don't like -- unless you are pathetic and live in a bubble like certain individuals here on this website and decide to ignore users/ celf censor -- they properly and equally see the light of day.
sheesh nearly every post from you is either a strawman or you crying about something (all in a longwinded, condescending manner), no wonder people put you on ignore 11There's a pretty obvious group of fanboys on the aoe2 reddit that believe the lies that have been spouted about how "pathing has never been better," or "pathing was always bad!" Similarly, you would see a thread criticizing aftermath for their recent tourney behavior/reaction downvoted into oblivion or outright deleted if the right moderator was friendly enough with the streamer -- and that's just garbage.
People who have played 1.0a/b/c,d, userpatch, voobly/gamepark/gameranger/gamespy/zone have a pretty good idea of how the game should work -- on reddit you have whoever is getting their pockets lined from Microsoft on the regulars regurgitated, sanitized opinion.
This board could certainly do with some moderation -- there are plenty of users who spout off-topic nonsense and flames, including image/gif spam which dilutes the quality of conversation (the purpose of a forum.) But it's still infinitely better than the cesspool of reddit, where forced/fake/toxic positivity are the rule.
Some people who maybe only access these boards on mobile or like to treat it as discord are discouraged by reading full sentences, but that l33tsp34k/fun sized bytes isn't really the point of aoezone.
i gotta say, i dont know if i should be disappointed or impressed in the sheer lack of self awareness you display time and time again
