Has anyone else been feeling tired out by the influx of slopware being created for tf2?
You browse teamfortress.tv or any public discord server for that matter and see TF2 statistics & News & Pugsite #1723678913, look up their linked github and see claude code as their primary contributor and 2 weeks later everyone forgets about it already (or it gets abandoned outright).
Now there isn't any harm to them existing per se, I just feel tired out, especially since so many of these websites use the same UI, have the same premise and don't actually have a real use besides being interesting to look at for an afternoon.
The reality is, TF2 is oversaturated with people trying to be the next logs.tf/demos.tf/trends.tf by oneshotting prompts. It doesn't really _need_ any more services.
But maybe im the minority here and people love these websites, what's your opinion on it?

this leads to an obviously larger discussion about slopware outside of tf2 so ill just skip to that point
a lot of this vapid shit is being churned out for people to smugly cross their arms and say "look at what I made!" with the goal of farming twitter likes and getting a pat on the back from a bunch of uncritical people who are optimistic about this tech. some of it is useful (ML chroma key in the vfx industry, for example) but it feels like a drop in the ocean compared to I Created Modern Warfare Two With Master Chief And Linkin Park. now every idea guy from san francisco can engagement farm by prompting just straight bullshit and when you give it criticism a swarm of little rats come out to confront you or tell you to let people enjoy things. im sure plenty of these people believe they are doing some act of nobility but its hard to look past the immediate sense of self importance that ultimately came from typing "claude please make a cool tf2 community website"
hard to get past the feeling that this is a really incredible technology that could make the world a lot better but instead its in the hands of dipshits who just want to get clout/spread misinformation/waste resources on the ratepayers dime and could lead to some very dark times Lole but maybe it wont doe :D
