This joint isn't the only forum I post on that's asking members to kick the tin lately.
When places like this teed off, unless you knew who Herbert A. Simon was, the phrase 'attention economy' was probably something unknown. Now big tech has entire departments devoted to gaming attention and maintaining engagement on their platforms. Niche, old school forums with aging members and precious little in the way of new blood will simply fade away.
Base a business on the ad revenue model instead of producing goods and services and that's the risk you run, it would seem. And a despicable model it is.
Point is there's really no one party to point the finger at, its just social media evolution. And some animals are very much on the endangered species list.
