Looking at this from the other end, a long time ago, when I had problems that I eventually figured out or useful information I discovered, I posted them somewhere on a forum. This was rewarding and engaging!<p>Then I largely migrated to Reddit. This was also good.<p>Then I stopped liking Reddit when the UI went downhill and the brain &quot;draned,&quot; and kinda migrated to GitHub or Gist or more focused sites where the niche fit. This is also great, when the niche fit.<p>But eventually many of my niches moved to Discord, and I spent a <i>lot</i> of time posting there, probably more than any other social media, which I now regret. Discord is horrendously inefficient, and I feel like all the cool stuff I have ever said there has fallen into a black hole. I largely just talked in loops like Groundhog Day.<p>So that burned me. Now I have discord uninstalled, and I just... Sometimes post on HN, but otherwise don&#x27;t really post problems and solutions outside of GitHub or private chats?<p>I dunno I represent a larger trend of actual humans divulging less useful public information, but that seems like an existsnsial issue for google.
