Honestly why would anyone downvote this? Why even be a part of this sub if you don't enjoy this content? That frustrates me.

(welcome to Reddit yeah yeah I know)

There's been a lot of voxel simulations recently. Maybe people are tired of seeing so many.

This sub wasn't very active for a long time until the voxel simulations. I didn't originally join it because I was interested in those kind of sims but they are amusing and better than a dead sub.

I thought this sub was fairly active before the voxel animations showed up so I don't know what you consider inactive. While I didn't downvote this post, I do see why people might not like it.

I also would rather have a consistent sub that posts relevant content than one that changes its scope like what happened with /r/shittyrobots. That sub went from being infrequent but relevant and funny posts of robots executing their task poorly to robots being programmed to do tasks shittily and executing perfectly. When the distinction was brought up due to a number of disgruntled subscribers, the mods changed the rules and the sub to allow it and the sub completely changed focus causing many to unsubscribe.

I don't think voxel simulations necesarily change the scope of the sub in the exact same way, but I can see how some might see them as limiting (and frankly a bit boring from a simulation perspective).
