All this has shown me is that if there is one thing that SA is undeniably better at than reddit it is criticising SA.

I do find it funny how I hear SA isn't relevant anymore but is still the boogieman in any game with a group function I.e. EVE, Star Citizen (lol), any other MMO. then again, most gamers got brain problems (I play games)

Those arguments feel like conjecture pieces and could apply to a number of forums besides SA. Like they heard about SA through a friend or passively browsed a few times and decided to wax philosophical.

Reddit is good for info dumps and that's basically it. The user base sucks and the UI looks like it was designed by a loving chimp.

"Reddit says that SA is done. Pack it up, boys!"

Well. They're not wrong I guess?

But even though the engine is running low on coal and half the wheels have seized from rust I'm still going to stick around and watch the inevitable trainwreck once the track runs out.

Yes, SA is very clumsily managed just like this metaphor.

Reddit has tons of porn for just about anything. Eel porn, tentacle porn, fish porn.

This is why millions of people go to reddit and SA is full of sad brains still laughing at doom house.
