It takes effort to comment on Reddit. But not that much effort. It takes effort to find cool sub-Reddits that appeal to you. But not that much effort. A little while ago, they had a thing called "Front Page" or something like that which was basically Reddit curated content without the Reddit features such as submitting, commenting, etc. I don't know how that turned out, but seeing as how I never see it mentioned anywhere, I don't think it was that successful. Makes me wonder if this redesign will have a similar impact, that is, near none.
It feels like now that the internet is so large, The Eternal September is a concept that can be applied to individual websites. Instead of a television series jumping the shark, a website experiences it's own ES event.They can select classic, but it's the new folk coming in that like card view that might be their undoing.
Yeah, I remember when it happened here on Hubski back in 2014.
Na I'm just horsing around. Every once in a while we have an Intermittent April rather than an Eternal September.
But ES was a term created for what happened to usenet.
