alt Hacker NewsI remember buying a magazine full of crosswords and similar puzzles when I was in the mood.
And when there were sites with unlimited Wordle, I played a few in a row.
On the internet, unlike with newspapers, you're not limited to how many levels/games you can make per day. Making it once per day doesn't make any sense whatsoever. It's condescending to the users and feels like a power trip.

You can freely make levels and browse other people's levels. The complaining about power trips seems as uncharitable a perspective as you could possibly conceive of, not to mention a bit theatric.

so don’t? others have said they like it, you don’t, move on

condescending (adjective): having or showing an attitude of patronizing superiority.
I don't really see how a once-a-day puzzle is condescending, unless it's a "You can't be trusted to regulate yourself so I'll do it for you" type thing. Adding a dictionary definition like above, however, probably is condescending :)
But I like the one-a-day format because, as other comments have said, you can spend an entire day with just one puzzle feeling important (relative to things that are important).
