All those cool smaller niche sites I used to go to for all my hobbies, whether it was gaming or music or fucking linguistics, have all been deserted, replaced by the Reddit behemoth and its total lack of any community, its emphasis on arranging threads and posts by votes rather than time, and its nonsensical wannabe-Silicon Valley laissez-faire approach to the massive amounts of hate for which it serves as a platform..
This is completely anecdotal but the subreddit for any given interest of mine always seems to be a hub for scrub-ass Captain Obvious's. "Oh you like rap? Check out N.W.A.". I really see this shit. Fuck off with it.
There's no going back either. The internet will only funnel more and more content into these super-sites and we're all powerless to stop it.
