The Steam forums are bad
Valve is allergic to moderation. The same threads show up all the time. You'll get people upset about the alleged 'wokeness' of a game and pages of people arguing so much over nothing I don't see how any of them actually have time to play games when they spend so much time complaining about them. It's occasionally useful to find some technical information but you have to dig through too much garbage to get to it.
Of course now I'm complaining about people complaining. I'd like to imagine I'm a little more level headed at least.
Maybe it acts like containment. If the worst people are there it keeps them away from everyone else (hopefully, probably not though).
