> There's next to zero value in looking up old posts. I don't know why this hasn't been done. I genuinely cannot tell if this is satire. A lot of subreddits are bastions of information for sometimes very niche topics. I frequently run into reddit posts that are 6+ months old but still relevant to what I'm seeking knowledge about. Outside of the programming sphere, posts from years ago generally still hold value. Saving posts would imply that I knew what Future Me wants to look up, or praying that someone was interested and cached it. Writeups/insightful discussion would be completely wasted, and I would have to find -another- website for potential caches of things relevant to what I'm looking for. It would be like IRC where people delve into the same topics and arguments ad infinitum. If I wanted an ephemeral social network (like snapchat) I would use an ephemeral social network, like snapchat.
