Yeah, I'm at 7. With kbin still being actively worked on, basically still a prototype, and then just being exhausted from full stack web development all day, my desire to make something cool that may disappear in a month is just really low.
Comments are heavily focused on the title of the article and the opening paragraphs. I'm more interested in peoples' takes on the second half of the article, that highlights how the goals companies are touting are at odds with the most likely consequences of this trend.

The CPU bottleneck in 1 was my biggest gripe, with needing to load EVERY active asset at game load into RAM a close 2nd. On demand asset loading would help a lot as well.
Maybe I'm browsing the fediverse at work and hardcore porn is frowned upon, so blurred thumbnails absolutely should be an option, if not the norm.

If that happens, a lot of quality people leave the site, content suffers, more people leave, death spiral, you're picked up by somebody at a dirt cheap valuation and they gut you for the nostalgia of what your brand used to mean, an expensive trophy because billionaires have the kind of money to play that petty. Meanwhile, new sites take your place and rinse, repeat, basically the history of the internet.
I think you're right. It's been my impression that a lot of the people over at Reddit who don't care, are the ones who are reading, not writing. I've sadly gone back, to at least provide an alternative with a magazine I started, and it feels very uncomfortable now.
@Suedeltica So, I've been around for what is turning out to be a long time now, and I can tell you that pre-web-based internet, I used to BBS a lot. And the fun thing there was we were online with people within our long-distance calling range basically. So we had that early sense of online community, but with people we eventually ended up meeting up with in real life once we got old enough to drive and be unsupervised and stuff. And the BBS's are long, LONG gone now, but these are some of the people I'm actually RL closest with to this day. So I guess I'm saying, yeah, the networks they come and go, and the people come and go too, but we do end up keeping the ones who really matter. FB isn't the first to disappear, and it won't be the last. The world changes so much, and there will be something new eventually. There always is.
