Have you read any of the recent news in Jan.2024 re: Pokerstars Rewards program? (tldr: they're bringing back a rewards program that is very similar to the old one where players can receive rakeback of 50-60% at the highest tier levels and all rakeback will be an exact amount (not some made up amount in some mystery chest)

Yeah.. decent rakeback for highrollers. anyone else gets 20% max- wow soooo great hahhaha

Why is this a good thing for the average player that wants to make some money?

Is the average player playing HSMTT? I doubt it. (and it was in response to the member's comment "In past good player was some star at the pokerstars, today majority of players are just grey mass. ") I assumed it to mean something along the lines of "in the past there were some good players (stars) at the pokerstars)" I was letting them know that there still is.

even the casino's wheel of fortune is fake, it doesn't give anything normal, only crazy pokerstars ask for money/gives you the opportunity to play for fun/or then everyone has to stay addicted - that's what pokerstars want, etc.

I think that if it didn't have quality, it wouldn't remain in first place for so long.
poker is something traditional, if someone is looking for so many new things, they should look for the casino.

Or you could try taking some responsibility for yourself & your choices. Do they come into your home and force you to click buttons?

They are so terrible & yet thousands of people have moved to other countries so that they could play on the site. Why would they do this if it was as bad as you suggest?

Yes I believe it; and the worst thing is that they are not doing things well, it is my way of seeing what they do. Since they made the decision to eliminate the "Supernova Elite" they have not stopped making bad decisions and that can be seen in the number of players online. Eliminating freerolls, which is something very important for players, was the straw that broke the camel's back.
