is it maybe just an age thing or maybe the internet has indeed gone through a shift, but it absolutely feels like there's no real designated online spaces or communities anymore 

5 years ago ish it was easy to find and integrate into spaces even on broader social media like twitter,  but now everything is just a melting pot... like everything Has to be centralized somewhere now (usually tiktok)


what do u think.. am i just getting older and therefore fandoms are just Unappealing now. and maybe people's "internet fatigue" is also the reason why even places like vp/gsm/es have also lost a lot of traffic...

i have a friend that i made when i was 12 (18 years ago!!!) in an online game and i asked him recently if he remembers how we even met because i didnt, and he said he just wrote random people on the map of the game and apparently thats how an 18 year long friendship started
now that we are adults the contacrt kinda fizzled out but he and his friends which i also befriended thru ghimn were a very imoportant part of my social life for many many years as a teenager and i even met up with them once when i turned  20 and we celebrated my birthday

i don't know why i've been struggling to understand why i also have really lost all interest in engaging with media like i used to (looking at fanart, following big fan accounts, following discourse, etc.) like ok maybe i was "isolated" from it for so long or maybe it's depression but no i really just... have lost interest

I agree I think some of it is getting older and internet fatigue. Like I got invited to a FNAF discord and I just.... pass. Like I want a public public space. Ehy does everything have to be monetized and make money, like...

NSBDHNEJ i still love  Taeyong  but somehow that phase and my squid game phase made me realize how  Eh...  fandom culture really was all along.. so i can only like stuff casually now, because otherwise it is so exhausting to be in those spaces where nothing of substance really happens.

and yes the kpop fandom for example is a toxic full time job and i've already talked about how i simply cannot do that anymore not just because it's not sustainable but also because it is so unhealthy
