    I mean obviously. All they needed was a single deal to get all the data. The funny thing about digital goods is you can copy it. Sure you miss the updated messages but that is less and less interesting as time goes by.

      It’s even less interesting when all of the content is just reposts made by bots and all of the comments are made by bots. All of the original content has already been copied.

      It was a bummer to watch it it all happen over time. I remember using reddit in like 2010 and it was great. It stayed great until maybe 2015. Then it slowly started to become too popular. It started to get targeted with fake viral ad campaigns. Those worked, and then from there it was fast downhill.

      Oh well… I remember when AOL was cool too. So I guess that’s just she way she goes.

        Everything has its time in the sun. Just like many before. They get born, grow, mature, get old, and then finally die. It will happen here too. I’ve seen more than one forum go through the process.
