not even sure of the details of why it's bad now but if I had to guess, it's the thing making everything else worse as well - "to increase engagement"

They went to a "primary" election where the top 3 (* 3 for outfielders) advance to the real election, and I think it's a good idea -- if you want your product to seem fun and carefree, you should associate it in your customers' minds with American politics.

can't wait for the ROTY to win despite losing the popular vote because a majority of states representing ~40% of the population selected them and they override everything else

God it must suck to throw your first mlb pitch to Nick Markakis -- he's not a well-known power hitter where everyone understands why he just socked a double off you but he is absolutely going to do that
