    It has caught cancer. They just haven’t totally realized it yet.

    It’s just what brain drains are called when they happen on the internet. Term coined by /b/ if I’m not mistaken. Creative types start leaving for whatever reason, quality dips, and a feedback loop begins. Quality steadily drops until you’re left with a massive ratio of garbage spam to quality stuff worth looking at.

    Now if we can just get those creative types that are wanting to leave to come here instead, then we’ll have the good content. Because it definitely follows along after the people that make it.

        The end of Reddit as a place where anyone interesting hangs out. Reddit will continue on as the Facebook of 2023.
