There's a piracy site with a forum I frequent that I feel is a good public space. Sometimes people put pirated games up there, sometimes the devs themselves post there to market their game. Either way, there's a bunch of good talk on what's good and what's crap. Lots of tags to find what you're looking for too.

The Illusion of Intellectualism

Reddit gives users a sense of being informed and thoughtful without requiring actual depth. Reading top comments often replaces reading the linked content itself. This allows users to feel as if they’re engaging in smart discourse, without doing the work.

True, especially with r/philippines, the country subreddit I once hung around. Just noticed that the majority of the userbase in the sub tend to see themselves smugly as more "smarter" Filipinos than Filipinos on Facebook, a platform they see as largely full of "ignorant degenerates"; it wasn't unusual seeing almost everyday complaint posts about the country and of the lower classes, and it got worse after a man named Duterte was voted into power.

It peaked in 2012, IMO
