    My NFL team last year gave up its franchise quarterback, and the subreddit basically only talked about the former QB for the entire preseason, and then still talked about it for half the season. Then it died down. And before the protest, he wasn’t really talked about all that much.

    Reddit is still fresh in people’s minds. It will go away. In the early days of reddit a LOT of people talked about digg, but within a few months it just wasn’t mentioned much anymore.

    A lot of people here spent years on our ex-platform. It’s going to take some time to get that out of our system. In the meantime, enjoy the shadenfreude!

      Yup. As someone that has been on Reddit since like 2007, when it was purely a tech news site and I don’t even think had comments yet, I don’t really understand these “just stop talking about it” posts. No. This guy took something that held immense value for a large percentage of our lives, and turned it into something near-worthless (at least a shell of it’s former glory) over a few years time. I think we should talk about it until it’s dead. I want to hear about it’s death knell.
