Fair enough, I assumed you gamed on both and stopped for PS5 because they made PSN mandatory and I somehow was unaware.

Can’t justify a gaming PC when PS4 pro was pretty cheap and my gaming hours are not what they used to be

I can justify a not so new console every 5 or so years as they hit my value for money sweet spot, and reduced gaming hours due to life

But the upfront cost for a decent rig to replace consoles entirely is not what I want to use my money for (for now!)

Can’t wait to finally make the jump though!

I’ve had my PS4 pro for years and never had paid PSN, is it required for PS5?

Or just for online play, which I do not care for

Honestly, I’ve almost noticed the opposite for about 2 months now - but I only use mobile browser with no account so it may not be a fully accurate experience.

The main reason for this opinion is that I’m Canadian, and until recently the super right wing echo chamber bot farm Canada_Sub, no longer appears on my popular/hot in Canada feed and has been replaced by the far more left wing Onguardforthee.

The ‘Sub’ group went private, then back to public but it’s no longer being pushed on my feed.

In general, I’m definitely seeing less right wing talking points for Canadian content, not sure if that’s due to the overall algorithm, or if admins have been cracking down on bots and the right wing Canadian subreddits don’t have enough traction without them to crack relevance.

Maybe reddit is taking it’s content more seriously with all the AI content scraping they’re about now. Their content won’t mean squat if it’s polluted by bot content like other social media.
