they grew up. reddit was primarily used by nerds in their 20s until it blew up in 2016 thanks to election. then it got flooded by idiots, children, and boomers. and the entire thing tanked. the cool people were there but got drowned out. a lot of them started moving to smaller and nicher subs.
sadly there just isn’t a centralized ‘nerd space’ anymore that reddit was from 2006-2014. where it was a lot of really cool stories/links/subs and a lot of intelligent comments.
