This funnily reminds me of the original rise of reddit. It killed off a lot of independent forum sites that used to dominate search results. There was a period where you might be looking for something, see a forum result, and find that the forum was now gone.
I wonder how much valuable information was lost to the sands of time as a result of that transition. And I wonder if the same thing is going to happen again with dead subreddits.
