      Maybe, but we are losing a vast wealth of collected and archive information. Anything from resources for anyone who wanted to learn any hobby, places to go in cities for every niche interest you can think of, suggestions for what to do for various college situations tailored to every college in the US. The list could go on for a hundred more topics.

      For a while it’s been the only place you could get Google results that you could be reasonably sure you were getting multiple unsponsored human opinions and discussions in a thread. It’s honestly tragic to lose that.

        But you can no longer be sure you’re getting unsponsored human opinions there. It’s already been ruined by bots and management decisions. Seems totally fair for the original content generators to salt the earth on their way out.
