Everything that has a beginning has an ending (perhaps with a long tail). Perhaps the only wrong thing is that we forgot about that. All of these Internet services tend to have a long tail, most of everything we remember once using is still around in some form barely being used but for a tiny and loyal user base that is still hanging in there for some reason.

None of these things were great in and of themselves, it was always the community.

Excellent! Consider me subscribed!

How have I been on Reddit for 15+ years, totally aware of Reddiquette, and never saw that video? Thanks!

The quality has tanked in the past several years in large part because of how big it is.

What I think happened in the past several years was the rise of the mobile user.

It’s somewhat hard to write well on a touchscreen and the 13+ demographic expanding as younger teens had less tech-hesitant parents means that low-effort submissions really took off. They don’t write well at all, and they don’t care about paragraphs, punctuation, or using any capital letters.

I’m leaving mine be there.

Old posts and comments are rarely read based on the feedback I get from them. I have over 100 MB of text (enough to fill 25 KJV Bibles) but 99% of interactions are on stuff I write that is less than 48 hours old

It worked great for me.
