Like for the past few years, browsing reddit is basically a daily routine for me. Now Reddit is dying, I feel like a part of me died. A website filled with many years of content… will soon be gone. I heard rumours that they are planning to purge the site of “undesirable” content before their IPO. I fear same thing will happen to youtube. I don’t have the resources to save all the content online, and watching sites die is painful. Reddit’s death triggered my fear for losing all those amazing youtube channels that I occasionally binge rewatch. (Does anyone else rewatch youtube videos over and over on a weekly basis? Maybe I’m just weird.

So this is what the internet is? Just a cycle of sites being born and dying, just like humans being born and dying. Omg whats the meaning of life…

Umm… sorry for the weird existential monologue. Lol

    I‘ve been on Reddit for 10+ years, I think it is normal to at least feel disoriented. Existentially, I recommend the Myth of Sisyphus—it‘s all meaningless, but we can find joy and meaning for ourselves in meaningless activities.
