I've watched all of the media that I use to love turn to shit in the last decade. Myspace was great, for a time. Facebook was too. Digg. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Colbert. Chapelle. JRE. YouTube. Reddit. They all got mainstreamed (or ceased to exist altogether) and they all lost their edge.(self)
It's harder than it sounds when alternatives to their media are attacked from multiple angles, and with practiced precision and expertise. Every twitter alternative like gab and parler get shut down for "violence" while twitter get to stay up despite having far more violent content. It is trivial for these big corporations to have teams of people who will post content that is then used as justification to shut down their competition.
