Why i stopped regularly browsing Metafilter.
seriously begging US journalists to properly alt text their screenshots so that the rest of the world can properly mute names/keywords and have functional internet for once.

the funniest thing about Scott Adams registering a sockpuppet account to praise himself on metafilter in 2011 is that another user (StrikeTheViol) clocked it immediately for perfect timing

as goes metafilter so goes the internet for some fucking reason
I cannot tell you how often this theme has come up in my work conversations lately. we are now forced to contend with the hard fact that google has decided they don't want to send people to visit websites anymore, very much including ours. all of our peers in news are seeing the same.

Also, look to Metafilter for an example of 100% human free range moderation that still results in constant messy drama over mod decisions

the final internet boss: Metafilter
Maybe we should all go back to metafilter
I wonder if the internet isn’t going to slowly lose human users as this kind of content turns people off. Ad sellers begin inflating their page views with bots to keep selling ad space to bots, and eventually it’s all just a desolate wasteland computers making shit for other computers to look at.
