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.

    the average media person’s mentality is geared toward mass distribution

    Even this ‘writers’ take is that their path was to move away from community and threaded conversations into monologues.

    The guy is a self important twit full of bad takes

      No joke.

      The whole “Yeah i went to a platform where people couldn’t argue with me as easily and i didn’t have to face any criticism or being wrong. It’s far better this way” schtick was really obvious by the end of it, and super gross to have read all the way through that “Objective and unbaised” slog of very biased ramblings.
