I WOULD RAMBLE SIMILARLY IF YOU ASKED ME ABOUT MEDIEVAL EUROPE SO THERE. :D
And while some might say that DW's low usage (compared to LJ) is a bad thing, I say at least it means you aren't getting DDoS'ed by the Russian government. Personally, I prefer shopping at the neighborhood corner store. I haven't been in a Wal-Mart in ages.
What you said about the decision fatigue - I think I read about that somewhere else, in a different context - they were talking about how people get super-stressed doing things like grocery shopping a lot more than they used to, because say you want a box of Hamburger Helper or something - where maybe 10 years ago there were two or three kinds, now there's 150 kinds and you stand there staring at the shelf like I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO WANT ON FRIDAY until you just say "oh, fuck it" and blow your whole shopping budget in the chocolate-and-potato-chip aisle.
Isn't there some way for the changes they make to be optional? Like, you have S1 and S2, right? So make an S3 that's designed for the low-engagement users, and make that the default, and then people who don't want it can opt out of it. Is that kind of thing even possible?
Also, what you said about resources reminds me that I need to contribute. I always forget, since I have a seed account and don't have to pay every year. XD
