I was originally responding to the comment about looking for surround sound options and was not trying to defend the sounds. Obviously, the info on the box is usually the best way to tell.
But as we discuss it, some use cases for the sound come to mind.
If the media is just a file on a hard drive or if the original packaging is lost or damaged, I might appreciate having the sound to indicate what settings to use on the receiver.
And honestly beyond all that… Who cares if somebody does like having the sound play every time? We all do weird shit.
Like you I left in June 2023. Haven’t been back though.
They drove away a ton of active users with the whole API thing. Makes sense conversation isn’t the same there anymore. The people posting and commenting left with the apps that make it convenient to… post and comment. Such an own goal by reddit.
