This article is on Medium, which has a paywall. I’m a member, but not logged in. I was able to read it so it may depend on how many times you’ve read Medium articles.

One point he made that I found interesting was:

So, in light of all of this, should Reddit even exist? Is there really a point to a web forum in 2023? Aren’t we past all that?

He thinks we are. I never thought about it before. Maybe in the case of some Reddit subreddits and other forums, but I don’t think so in general. I’ve got a lot great information from forums.

    Was about to say the same.

    Medium seems to be where all the people who used to post bad take blogs went to instead of self hosting

      So a bunch of technically incompetent narcissists too busy with their head up their ass to realize no one wants to listen to what they say?

      Sounds about right
