      And registration hasn’t worked for years. Pointing this out in this community will earn you downvotes. Nexus Mods is completely unusable trash.

        1. Nexus is only about mods, it’s not a bonus feature

        2. Nexus mods used to be available without logging in

    I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would run ads. I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would limit download speeds

    I cannot fathom for any non greed-ridden reason as to why a website would make you wait five seconds before downloading a mod. It’s an inconvenience for the sake of an inconvenience, a problem they made to sell the solution

    Of course, we need to keep in mind that they don’t make the mods, they merely host them. Compare the amount of bloat on their website to other, less funded ones such as lovers lab and gamebanana, and it becomes apparent that there’s a money sink somewhere

        Okay, but slowing everybody down by five seconds doesn’t smooth anything at all. It just shifts the curve five seconds to the right
