I thought they were already doing this last year.

Simple. They won’t have to spend as much money. Of course them saving money won’t translate to lower Nintendo Switch prices, because they’l actually be making more money by keeping prices the same.

and as long that mainstream consumers aren’t boycotting Nintendo on record profits from these changes related to ai, then Nintendo and other companies will keep the prices the same, aside from raising them in the future.

One of the best ways for sure.

I don’t think the web ui has the keyword block function, but some lemmy apps seem to. I couldn’t find it on the web ui atleast.

I understand your point, but I was primarily focused on blocking illegal/lemmy instance rule breaking comments. Not necessarily offensive comments, although that won’t mean I might not block some offensive commentators in the future. If I see a user using a racist slur for example, they’re highly likely to get blocked.

I was specifically looking for ways to preemptively block specific types of comments, user defined. Possibly by keywords. I don’t think the web ui has the keyword block function, but some lemmy apps do.
