Standard summertime slump, been the norm on the internet since the rise of the big forums. Also election season in the US which never helps. The small specialized forums seem to be good at staying on topic but also tend to lose much of their already limited traffic in the summer. Reddit and FB could be different and showing a general trend and impending death, I avoid sites with infinite scroll and/or screens filled with recommendations so have never used them. If the state of the internet is irritating you go do something else, check back in a couple weeks, repeat until things get better or the internet ceases to be a part of your life.
