Nexus Mods owners Chosen have acquired SteamDB from its founders, and say the latter will be "keeping its own name, brand, community, and identity" for now.
Useless website design that only serves the purpose of making you scroll past more unwanted content, annoying ads, a “We value your privacy” popup that doesn’t value your privacy (1072 partners in the cookie popup) and the gall to ask for premium subscriptions after tracking and selling your data.
I’m a fan of thunderstore, having been there when it was made for RoR2. Not sure how I feel about the UI redesign, but it’s simple and as of yet unenshittified.
shit sucks, i remember endlessly browsing nexus mods back when i played fallout 3 and new vegas. I tried using it with fallout 4 a couple of years back and it straight up was unusable.
NexusMods has been enshittifying for a while now.

You misunderstand, they value your privacy monetarily, as in invading it makes them money.
They also can’t build a mod manager to save their lives.
God help you if you think they understand anything about how to write any OS agnostic code.
In other news: ModDB still exists. Same with GameBanana.
don’t worry, it’s even worse than that:
they already built one, and then abandoned it!
the NexusModsApp (terrible name) WAS OS-agnostic and already in beta.
they killed it because it was “splitting their resources”, and “confusing users”… bullshit, their new onwers forced them to cut costs.
they’re effectively dead, just a matter of time until their new owners slaughter the golden goose because it isn’t laying eggs fast enough…

Please don’t browse the web without ad blockers (which also block trackers and cookie banners). It’s unsafe and not good for you.
Given Chrome’s changes, this should also read: use Firefox or a non-chromium based browser, with an ad blocker.
This goes without saying, but yes. The ad blocker should also be uBlock Origin.
LibreWolf + uBlock Origin here. I only got ads on NexusMods once, when I opened the wrong browser on accident.
