Google Search has gone full Reddit, Mueller confirms UGC is favored

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!

Then I largely migrated to Reddit. This was also good.

Then I stopped liking Reddit when the UI went downhill and the brain "draned," and kinda migrated to GitHub or Gist or more focused sites where the niche fit. This is also great, when the niche fit.

But eventually many of my niches moved to Discord, and I spent a lot 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.

So that burned me. Now I have discord uninstalled, and I just... Sometimes post on HN, but otherwise don't really post problems and solutions outside of GitHub or private chats?

I dunno I represent a larger trend of actual humans divulging less useful public information, but that seems like an existsnsial issue for google.
