I know I’m late to the party but I just found out and didn’t find a post regarding this

TL;DR: Steam now calculates review scores based on reviews made on your languages only (if enough). This is on by default, but can be reverted to go back to review scores based on all reviews (from people that purchased the game directly on Steam only)

      Tbh I very rarely see anyone mention cryptocurrency. I guess if it’s brought up I’ll see someone complain about it, but it’s almost never brought up in the first place. Especially compared to AI which is talked about as often as politics.

      I don’t seem to have this problem as much. That said, I didn’t on Reddit either. Maybe it is because my feeds are mostly science, weird maps, and things discovered on lemmy.nsfw.

        if you don’t participate a lot, or don’t have potentially controversial opinions, it won’t happen as much and won’t be noticeable

      Full disclosure, I will sometimes cry about cryptocurrency stuff or slop. But I mined a bitcoin many moons ago, too! And I’m quantizing an LLM as I type!
