I don't actually think that, but wanted to be the first to complain about it.

FWIW I was on Reddit for twelve years and people complained about the good old days twelve years ago.

@DrChickenbeer I was on Reddit 17 years ago when all the posts were about Lisp and Python programming. If you asked anyone on the site during any given era, the golden age was when they first understood what the site was about.

That’s true about jobs and life

Absolutely. The golden period is always the exact moment you discovered it, whatever it is, and as soon as you become more familiar with it and begin to see flaws, you perceive a decline.

I dimly remember visiting reddit in the mid 2000s and it seemed to be some programmers sharing pictures of beer.

So you're the guy who ruined it!
