Now you’re just being dramatic. I’d review the whole comment and de-dramatize it.
Yes the web has changed and most Forums are dead, but it doesn’t mean change is not possible. Blogs are still a thing, even if you get to them through Twitter.
The issue stems from Google rewarding junk and people wanting to monetize their content. Couple the two and you have lengthy BS lost in ads, while short clean content is lost on page 59 – but it’s there.

- evouga 5y agoBack in the day I both edited Wikipedia and helped maintain a MediaWiki installation. I found learning wiki markup (and the subtleties of the template engine in particular) quite challenging on the frontend, and the backend was even worse. The inaccessibility of the software is (was?) widely acknowledged as a significant barrier to new contributors by the project itself. I didn’t think this was especially dramatic or controversial.
