    Great read, and right on the nose. Louis Rossman has a good video discussing this issue, especially Reddit’s role in all of it. Forgot the title, but its pretty recent.

    The “golden days” of internet social media platforms are gone. It was fun while it lasted, but these companies were BLEEDING venture capitalist money, and at some point they have to show a profit. That time is now, and it’s ugly.
