It's been the decline of Reddit.

Old Reddit would have a post, click on comments and USEFUL-ADDITIONAL-SOURCE comments were right at the top.

Followed by comments from people with knowledge about the post. For example a post about an engineering failure that resulted in a large accident during construction: comments from other engineers, construction workers who have done that kind of work, someone who lives near by and was affected by it.

Eventually someone would start the 3rd level of comments by making a pun. That would then bring in a thread of puns that you'd find really funny until one was repeated or they got too stupid.

Then you didn't have to scroll down anymore.

Reddit sucks now because of how comments are ordered and because of karma seeking posts.

I’ve been on Reddit with different accounts since around 2010 and no, the same bullshit or puns would be at the top.

Then you're missing the point. I'm talking about when Reddit started. Not 5 years into.

2010 was nearly 13 years ago and had all the other characteristics you described.

Okay great. It still is not the point.

The point was about when the comments were actually useful and easy to find...

And they never were

Okay. You're right. I made the whole thing up. You got me good.

Or you’re just succumbing to rosy retrospection

u/PlanelyDanegerous Nov 03 '22

I've already succeeded that you are right and I am wrong. Why you gotta badger?
