I think they're going through some growing pains is all.

There was that little fiasco a while back where "giveaway" items didn't include lifetime support (understandably) and they didn't denote this clearly, and their standards with participating creators could have been a little better too, which resulted in a lot of items getting review-bombed like crazy.

I admit I even did this to one product because it was actually removed from my account before I had a chance to download it, because the promotion was over. They since fixed that though.

People also do dumb things that hurt everyone involved, like leave 1-star reviews that are essentially customer support questions. "Would not work." Or something.

I dunno, if it were ArtStation or something I'd probably be like "Yeah they're being fishy!"

But the CGCookie / Autotroph / Superhive people are good folk, and I don't think anybody's getting filthy rich off Superhive. Could be wrong, but I'd love to hear what they have to say about it before assuming deceptive behavior.

Ah, I was so fixated on the "pasta" joke, you're right, I missed the other thing! Yeah, I can understand you missing that auto scroll feature.

From what I can tell, it doesn't come as easily as it should natively across all applications, although it appears Firefox has this functionality built in. I found a forum post here from not too long ago. Does this help in your case? :)

Edit:

And here, some folks are discussing a scripty way to do it system-wide. YMMV it sounds like, and I'm honestly surprised this isn't just a tick-box feature by now.

Been talking about this a lot lately. Older millennial here. I loved that brief little slice of time I got to experience, when DSL / cable was around and no longer "pay by the minute" and someone answering a phone wouldn't kick you off.

Web pages loaded fast enough. They were fine. Downloads? Just be patient. No problem. WoW and friends, Unreal Tournament, Battlefield 2142, all ran just fine.

But mostly...

I miss when the Internet was a place you went all its own, it wasn't everywhere, it wasn't inside of literally everything. You had to "visit" it. Logging on meant you could also log off. It didn't follow your every move.

Handheld game consoles were still airgapped, the main ones had it optional.

People had blogs for fun, they used the web to express themselves and share ideas and stupid subcultures and memes. It didn't "matter."

It wasn't "the commercial internet." It was just The Web. It was somewhere else.

Everything wasn't built on inescapable addiction algorithms that follow you everywhere, and have already your shadow identity shared to innumerable servers because someone knows someone who used one of those services and you were in a group picture once.

For the younger kids, there was a time when your entire life from birth wasn't shared without your consent for the world to see. (How many people really understood privacy settings anyway?)

Disconnecting now feels more impossible than ever, it takes a huge effort not unlike fasting, and mental overload is the norm.

So much of it is just corporatized, weaponized, and predatory.

I'm gonna venture he means being totally unreachable...

... by your boss on your day off.

Suburbs and freeways, man. :(

I'm laughing and I don't even understand the random hostility in this image LOL.

Well if we're listing all that, you forgot Predator! :p

"What do you know doc, shut up and slice me!"

This sounds Cyberpunk AF LOL.

Peace is finally an option.

I hope they checked his pockets before the MRI violently pulls a bunch of rings at dangerous velocities!

That back tooth be like 🤌

My guess is it works like Lynx.

You mainly get basic text formatting with some colors. It's kinda neat. I imagine text heavy sites like Wikipedia (or Lemmy instances! Maybe other Fediverse stuff?) would be decent with it.

You can open media with external applications it says though.

Also hey, it's not running all that fancy privacy-killing JavaScript! :D

In some situations I imagine it's fantastic for making your browsing look like you're working on something important, if you have a problem with nosy shoulder-surfers.
