It's probably the best change ever made to the site. People who do massive quote pyramids are incredibly irritating, if they can't be discouraged at least this makes things look better.

Because this was done purely to copy Reddit which is pure unfettered cancer. I hate to have to click 9 more times just to see every post once they start to stack in a topic with many people quoting. It's inconvenient and insulting to the end user.

Or, you can just click once to catch all of the posts you missed by coming into the topic late, then remember the subject matter. If you've already been in the topic, you can not bother clicking at all since you'd already know the information without expanding it.

The implementation is vastly different.
Reddit uses AJAX to fetch the "read the rest" content. GameFAQs renders it all, then uses some javascript to toss (irrelevant) classes onto blockquotes, and insert the 'expander' elements.

A simple CSS userstyle will kill it dead:

.board.message.msg_list .msg_body blockquote > blockquote > blockquote:not(.expand_quote) {
display: block;
}
blockquote.expand_quote {
display: none;
}

Outside of attacking ZP as a person in this topic, this update is legitimately bad imo.

1. Given the choice of clicking several times to see posts or not clicking, I would prefer to not click.
2. One more feature this site added that I need to turn on Javascript on my phone for, except this time I'm actually missing content instead of not being able to quote or something.
3. Also on mobile, I would have to scroll through the whole topic to see what someone is replying to instead of it being there in front of me. Alternatively I could turn on Javascript and let the ads bounce the page around before I'm able to click on it.

I'm sure this is fine for some people, but I don't like not seeing the whole quote.

Am I missing a button that opens up every quote in the topic?

It's quite nice for the desktop version.

I could see this going either way depending on the person. I personally don't like it, but I can see the advantage for some people.

Yeah, I like it. Quote chains are a message board design idiocy.

Also this isn't Reddit's layout. I actually prefer it since it reduces even more duplicated text in quotes.

And you always seem to think that there is some conspiracy behind every action.

Because there always is, things don't just happen for no reason. There is always a deeper reasoning for something happening.

This site has been hemorrhaging users for years and Allen is in a desperate bid to try and keep them from flocking to Reddit by copying it

If you belive otherwise you only confirm that you have the mentality of a sheltered child who's never had to stand on their own two feet once in their own life

Sure, there are reasons behind changes but not everything is malicious like you seem to think it is.

You unironcially believe that devs and publishers would never crank up the grind in a game to goad money out of you from microtransactions. After Activision and Bungie just got caught doing this in Destiny 2

https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/11/25/destiny-2-has-been-secretly-reducing-xp-gains-and-is-stopping-after-fans-caught-on/#7bf6dd196a76

Your view point is that of someone who's had their hand held entirely through life and has no grasp of reality. Stop fucking posting now

As long as you treat everything with disdain, you win.
