Myspace was great for a while... then facebook was cool for a bit... digg had it's time... reddit had so much potential... and youtube wasn't always a sellout for ad money... but between short-sighted profit-driven corporate stooges and asshole users, we just can't have nice things!

My biggest problem is that every time one of these big sites becomes popular, it kills all of the little hobbyist forums. Before reddit, there used to be dozens of forums that I would visit. Now they are all practically abandoned. Which would have been fine, but now reddit starts censoring certain subs randomly, and there is no place to find the communities I used to go to.

Kind of like when wal-mart comes to a town, lowers their prices so low it shuts down all the mom-and-pop stores, and then jacks their prices back up.
