    IMO, I don’t see reddit ever going back to what it was even a year ago. Like many other lurkers I didn’t actively post much on reddit, but I used it a ton for searches. Reddit was (and still is to a much lesser extent) a great place to find support or posts that might address an obscure problem you have with tech in general. Trying that today gives me mixed results at best. Subs are private or the replies that were helpful are now deleted. A lot of the search results that you might’ve found before don’t actually show up because the user deleted their account and/or posts. Its far less useful for this purpose than it was even a few months ago and I think we’ll see traffic start to reflect that pretty soon.

      I used to get what I needed from BBSs. Then it was AOL boards and Usenet. Then Slashdot. Then Reddit.

      People want to gather. There will always be another community.
