Thank you for this article. I think it's a recurring tragedy what happens to good things. Good things were good because some key person invested time, effort or resources into creating something good. StumbleUpon, Digg, del.icio.us, phpBB forums, BBS before that, IRC, Geocities, the old and early web, usenet, winamp. Some good things stay good because some key person is immutable, such as Python's Benevolent dictator for life or Linus. It is difficult to get people to invest in things so they last unless you demonstrate lots of value. And if people think they'll get rich, they pour money into it such as web3 or bitcoin. How much would you pay for a high quality resource or website? Sadly, I think it's "nothing". I've thought about curating and paying particular high quality bloggers or wise/insightful commentators to contribute or sponsor regular posting. I would like to see deep dives into famous codebases or technologies.
