The bit about apartment searching made me shudder. Dedicated apartment search web sites already suck enough at providing relevant information in an easily searchable form, the idea of searching through unorganized text is just insane.
Unfortunately I know the author has a point. In the car community forums are losing traffic like crazy while Facebook groups have constant traffic. The Facebook groups are absolutely horrible to use but it's where the people are. With no ability to categorize or "sticky" threads the discussions are a disaster, but for some reason a lot of people are fine with that.
- King-Aaron 9y agoCompletely agree with the car forums - and all enthusiast forums in general. You get the same inane questions being asked daily - if not hourly - because people can't easily find information that had been asked previously. Not to mention that facebook allows more "casual" enthusiasts to partake in conversations, than what I'd consider proper "enthusiasts". I feel that it dilutes the quality of a technical question's responses when you have one person replying with solid advice, and ten others who either shitpost, or offer plainly incorrect advise.
