For me, it's Reddit which has killed the internet. It (along with Facebook Groups) has sucked the oxygen out of internet communities. It favours recency, but only at the thread level, so new comments in old threads will never be seen but new threads with the same conversation will always pop up. This causes one of two effects: old timers leave communities because it's just the same repetitive threads over and over, and communities become dominated by newbies; or, worse, old timers develop lexicons of inside jokes and memes, and the community becomes impenetrable to newcomers who might otherwise have a lot to offer.
