Many forums haven't gone anywhere. By forums I mean what some refer to as bulletin boards. Neither are blogs. Granted, Medium is making a complete mess of the semantic web, but all the more reason for them to support a semantic standard that might guide hapless readers such as myself to find their way. For the most part, the "change" that "obviates" the standard are developers writing shitty code with all kinds of JavaScript nonsense that wreak havoc on accessibility, load, and UX. It's a little like saying right-clicking and using the back button in the browser aren't needed anymore, because dumb new frameworks are breaking them. :) Dear lord, I just remembered Twitter's hashbang urls. To this day, they still break my Pinboard bookmarks.
