I love the thrill of discovering something new on the internet, and then sharing the content with my friends.
Reddit substituted that thrill by localizing it through all the niche subreddits, but as time went on it was obvious how dangerous that can be.
I'm personally excited to get back to exploring.
The downside is that the internet of 2023 is not the internet of 2013, and definitely not the internet of 2003 - but that doesn't have to be encumbering.
But I understand that most people don't want to work for that shit. Hopefully the added competition spurs innovation from all over.
This is how I feel! Very few people I know IRL spend time on Reddit, and it was always fun for me to bring up something I found there. Lately, I have a couple of friends who do read our local subreddit and I enjoy discussing what weโve read there.
I feel that whether or not I choose to go back, all the reasons I still went will be degraded after recent events. And frankly, that sucks.
Thanks for saying what I didnโt realize I was feeling!
