    It drove me nuts. I really stayed for the local sub. It was nice knowing what was happening around town but oh well. Gotta check if there’s one here.

      Definitely check, but niche content tends not to survive here. Reddit itself used to be like this, in its own early days.

      Though even on Reddit, so many niche subs look to be dying off, getting spammed by bots and disguised ads but the actual OC decreasing over time.

      And a lot of young people simply eschew social media altogether, preferring instead to hang out irl. That seems ideal actually… at least in an era where you cannot trust any information online.

        I get that, younger friends that I game with don’t really do social media. It’s basically just small servers on discord and whoever is local we hang out in person, so yeah I did notice that shift. The spam really got to me on reddit and it got worse and worse. Stuff like secret santa and exchanging stuff or making art for people was fun. I traded a painting for a mflb vape lol. Now it’s ad, ad, karma bot, propaganda, ad, ad, cat picture, content, data fishing ad, an onion article—I mean news, ad, etc. And this is with an ad blocker; they upped their game since they realize most people are using them so why not just make fake looking posts that are just ads right?

            You know I actually wondered about if “content” creators work up an account and then sell it. There was this girl that would post videos about things in Japan, she had some noticeable pimples or whatever on her face. The last I saw it was heavily filtered pictures and now it’s about stuff in the US. Kinda like her image was copy pasted. I use facebook because siblings kids and stuff to keep up with it and occasionally watch language videos. As far as I’m concerned, facebook thinks I’m Japanese lol
