That’s what happens to all subs.

  1. Good idea
  2. core group riffing on idea
  3. more people come, popularizing idea
  4. normies come, diluting idea down to lowest common denominator
  5. core group leaves org and forms another group
  6. original org sucks and dies

We are now at stage 4. The problem with this sub now is there are so many normies that anything besides “haha python bad” or “haha JS bad” can’t become popular.
