Hiroshimoot says we get one of these per board so here it is.
Does remember when there was actual discussion here and people would post sources to support their views? I even learned a thing or two back in the day. I found out about Bitcoin here in 2010, I had lengthy intellectual discussions about various political and historical subjects and gleaned some real insight into them from other posters here. People used to discuss plausible "realpolitik"-style explanations for things, complete with multiple sources corroborating a consistent idea. Now it's just these cross-posted bait threads like "why do zoomers suck ass" with a screencap from Reddit (look mom I posted on two websites). This site went from a source of culture to a superficial sampler platter for the most brain-dead trash on social media. Why is this? Where did the original posters go? There has been a total transformation of the mainstream Internet in just 4-5 years and it's like nobody even noticed. Even YouTube is obviously worse since they memory holed all of the "offensive content" and every result for a random search is "person reacts to _ (short)"
When was the last time you saw an actual statistic posted here in a two-way conversation where both parties tried in an intellectually honest fashion to come to a consensus?
