someone has felt the need to ask this exact question every time delicious came up since the first time i showed it to anyone in 2003

  But the popularity of Delicious then was proof that it was useful. It was a major internet destination. Today there's no similarly popular equivalent. Sure general-purpose social URL bookmarking sites still exist but they're niche, not mainstream. So thanks for trying to invalidate my question, but it's not that simple.

    there's a huge proliferation of memory tools: notion, pinterest, and so on. so, yes, your question is bad: you're assuming what works for you is right for everybody.

      You don't need to be a jerk here. First, I said popular general-purpose URL. Notion isn't popular, pinterest isn't general-purpose, and so on. And absolutely nowhere did I assume what is true for me is for everyone. Which I why I asked rather than assumed. And got valuable answers about other perpsectives. So no, my question wasn't "bad". I suggest you take your judgmental attitude elsewhere. HN is not the place for it.

        HN is 100% the place for this attitude.
