Why does everyone just tolerate nexusmods bullshit? Limiting the speed and demanding money to unlock it is fucking ridiculous. Or blocking modpack features behind a subscription. Their website is already crammed with ads and they don’t even pay modders that much. Something like Modrith pays its modders more and all those features are completely free there.

Because the people complaining are too retarded, poor, and lazy to make their own centralized site.

No one gives a fuck about your obscur underground mods that 10 people use.
Nexus is still the kings for mods. Best mods are on this site.
>>
Internet sites show that people are often cattle so you there can be 1-2 popular sites and 99% of people will use or even pay real money to use them no matter how hard they are fucked in the ass. It does make sense in a way because 1) everyone else uses it and 2) it would take effort to find the alternatives. It doesn't matter if the alternatives are free or don't assfuck the user. Well obviously the alternatives would have to finance the site in some way if they got more than 0,1-1% of the user bare, but still. You just won't get people to stop using stuff like discord or nexusmods, you just won't. People will register there and even offer real world money, then complain, then pay more.

FTFY, OP.

I've been playing and modding PC games for DECADES, and I have no idea where that data-mining troon-coded scam website came all the sudden. Nor why the living hell ANYONE would upload their mod onto it for that matter.

Moddb.com has existed far longer.

>locking easy modpack downloads via premium sucks ass
And what's the reason someone doesn't just reupload to mega or archive etc and when someone googles the modpack name they can just download it.

I have read cases where there are always online mods linked to your gay account and you have to pay etc at that point I would just say fuck it and also report the tranny modder to some jew company they are trying to extract money from. Practically every mod is gray area legally so the right holders can tolerate them if they want to, but if you try to get money off mods then you would get rightfully fucked and this doesn't mean I love big game companies.

Inb4 there's a loophole where "the user is not paying for the mods, just for some premium account club".

Several fairly prominent modders have simply left Nexus for other platforms. It’s not a large number relative to the total, but these were often well above-average modders.
>>739637089
>Just ignore 99% of the mods that come out
What’s more, it doesn’t really help and 6 out of 10 popular mods are either vibe-coded or have an absolutely awful AI voice
>>
>>739636272
it's way less shitty than what other mod sites do (adware and malware, and no complaining because nobody made you download the virus-infested mod)
>>
because Nexus Mods has the Vortex mod manager.

I'm too fucking lazy to download my mods separately and them extract them into the proper folder of all my game files. fuck that. let vortex do it for me.
>>
>>739637296
The site has obviously been astroturfed to be the top site and hired reddit pedophiles to run it. At some point they decided gamers can't be left alone and then they decided modders can't be left alone because they might talk naughty, so it's important they propped up that site and hired pedophiles to run it.

the same reason you aren't doing that either, you are lazy and just want to seethe at being inconvenienced

Well it's good if even one user or creator leaves but if they have a traffic of 10 million or something then a shit ton of people would have to genuinely leave and let's say even 100k of the user base just left then I would be surprised.

yes, thats how its always been, retard. most people make literal liquid sewage. if you sort by endorsements the last week/month you will mostly see quality OR you follow a youtube channel dedicated to the game in question that you trust that can recommend new shit frequently.

Anon, it’s not 2010 anymore.
>>739637517
Anon, Vortex is garbage and useless compared to mod managers outside of Nexus. Steam Workshop or one of those Minecraft launchers will not only install the mod automatically but also everything else you need for it.

Why would reupload anything if I don't use nexusmods. If I played newer games with mods then I would try to find them elsewhere. It's not like nexus trannies can sue you for reuploading their mods because they own no rights to the content to begin with, most mods are just tolerated but illegal if the company pushed.
>>

This, I haven't seen ANY ads in 15 years, I don't even know how they look like nowadays.

So how come Minecraft modders managed to create an alternative when CurseForge went to shit, but none of the Nexus modders are even trying?
>>
>>739636272
It's impossibly tedious that downloading a mod there involves signing into an account and there's a paid subscription. I don't use it much, but it's not worth using it to download a bunch of shit you could get some other way.
>>
>>739636272
Reliability? When a mod gets taken down or even retired you can still download it if you know how to use their API. It also now keeps backups of all versions of a mod as well, which a lot of mod authors hate because they're greedy jews. Unironically, the only people who hate them are brown.
>>
>>739637892
Vast majority of mods are under 1gb, most under 100mb. Completely unnoticable unless you are an autist downloading the 30gb 8K textures for skyrim horse cocks.
>>
>>739638347
>if you know how to use their API
Well, for a start, they could just let you download any archive file with a single click, as is usually the case. There have already been instances where mod authors went berserk because everyone was using an old version of their mod, so they simply deleted it, forcing you to go and hunt for a link to the old version on Reddit or fucking tesg.
>>739638445
Even the basic Skyrim setup without excess takes up over 100 GB not counting the game itself.

Your choice is either to get ass-fucked and pay to have it stopped, or not to get ass-fucked at all. You choose the first option.
Modders selling their mods via Patreon is simply a consequence of Nexus being a bunch of greedy fucks who pay modders pennies and Bethesda completely not giving a shit about its community.

>>739638765
Even the most basic textures for everything take up 15–20 GB on their own. And using vanilla textures is not an option as those idiots at Bethesda don't know what the fuck they're doing so they've completely ruined all the textures in SE.

I still use it for mods that are a few mb big, but it's true: This is one of the most enshittened sites on the internet.
I don't think I could reinstall Skyrim and mod it at this point due how cancerous this site has become.

Some modders use alternatives now though.
For example Stalker GAMMA completely avoids it and Enderal is on Steam now. I can't think of any game other than Skyrim that would require me to download a lot of data from there.
>>
>>739639139
Stalker mods have never really been a thing on Nexus. They’ve always been on ModDB and their own websites (mostly Russian ones). Another question is: how the hell do Russian Stalker fans manage to keep their mod sites going, yet the massive Bethesda community can’t get their shit together against NexusMods?
>>
>>739639401
Russians are naturally independent thinkers good at rebelling against authority, so they go against the grain when a mod site gets too big. Meanwhile we in the west just search up the biggest mod site and assume its the best like lemmings.
>>
>>739636272
I tolerate it because it's the first jewgle resutls for "mods:game"

because nexusmods used to give us 1 point per download which translated into
>1k points = one dollar
we used to get like 20-30 dollars per month which was enough to cover the internet
but now they changed it so the mods can award more points to their discordtroon friends and people who do non coomer mods get fucked with 2 or 3 dollars per month now
>>
>>739639401
I guess too many Nexus modders are trying to play along with the commercialization and make money with it.
I assume Russians would just reupload the mods somewhere else if something similar happened to their sites and since they don't care as much about copyright faggotry there wouldn't be anyone to stop them.
Steam underground forums have been a thing for years and I also remember downloading Factorio mods from a Russian site that reuploads them.
EU and NA fags would never dare to do that as the Factorio devs say it's heckin forbidden.

>>
>>739642059
Wasn't there at least one such case already? It doesn't shut the site down, just people profiting. I never visit or use Nexus but it would be a good idea to just endlessly report trannies trying to profit from this shit. But like I said earlier, they might for a while get away with the loophole where "the payment is just for the premium group, not for the mods".
