1 year agoMost sites that rely on user generated content are a huge black hole of investor cash (Meta and YouTube are the only ones I can think of that aren’t) and have a natural lifespan where increasingly desperate attempts to extract value from it eventually kill the site. It seems like everything is going downhill at once because the web stopped innovating sometime around 2010 and the unprofitable experiments became pillars of the online experience. It’s why I’m excited about the fediverse - a return to community-led projects at last.
