Not to us, but there are other folks out there.
As I've implied elsewhere, I like little geek communities too, but the big easy networks can and have fulfilled an important purpose of essentially being a better world "town square" than, e.g. network news.
They're incredibly far from perfect, but they've done a LOT of good, and are likely to continue to be necessary.

- marcosdumay 3y agoI would say that up to the point when they started for forcefully manipulating their content for direct payments or indirect "retention", yes, the benefit outweighed the costs. By 2015 they were almost all incredibly harmful and mostly valueless.
